Abstract: Very small projections (10-2) are arranged on a mirror surface (10-1) of a mirror (10). The shape of a projection (10-2) is not limited to a circular cone, but it can be a hollow-cylindrical shape, semispherical shape, or square prism shape, and also, it can be a polyhedron with many faces. With a reduction in temperature of the mirror (10), water vapor contained in a gas to be measured condenses on the mirror surface (10-1) of the mirror (10). In this case, because of the very small projections (10-2) on the mirror surface (10-1), the condensation is promoted by the projections (10-2) serving as the cores. This facilitates condensation even at low dew points and improves response. Further, the size of condensation products does not easily vary relative to variation in flow speed of the gas to be measured, and this makes equilibrium of condensation less likely to break, increasing measurement accuracy.

The apparatus for measuring the particle diameter of foam on a malt alcoholic drink according to the present invention includes a laser light source for irradiating a linear laser beam onto the surface of a foam layer created on a malt alcoholic drink, an imaging device for imaging a laser line reflected on the surface of the foam layer to obtain an image of the laser line, and a calculating device for obtaining edge information of the laser line from the image of the laser line to calculate the particle diameter of foam in the foam layer based on the edge information.

Abstract: A method for efficiently manufacturing a vegetable glycosphingolipid having reduced unpleasant odor using a barley-derived starting material is provided. The method for manufacturing a vegetable glycosphingolipid according to the present invention comprises an extraction step (2) for preparing a mixture with a non-halogenated alcohol-based solvent and heating the staring material mixture, and a fatty acid removal step (3) for removing fatty acids from the extract obtained in the extraction step (2).

Abstract: A plurality of minute projections (10-2) are provided on a mirror surface (10-1) of a mirror (10). The shape of a projection (10-2) is not limited to a conical shape, and may be a cylindrical shape, semispherical shape, quadratic prism shape, and the like. Furthermore, the shape may be a polyhedral shape with many surfaces. With a reduction in the temperature of the mirror (10), water vapor contained in a gas to be measured condenses on the mirror surface (10-1). In this case, because of the minute projections (10-2) on the mirror surface (10-1) of the mirror (10), the condensation is promoted by the projections (10-2) serving as nuclei. This facilitates condensation even at low dew points and improves responsiveness. Further, the sizes of condensed dew drops do not easily vary relative to variation in the flow rate of the gas to be measured, and this makes the equilibrium state of condensation unlikely to break, increasing measurement accuracy.
