Abstract: A first irradiation section has a light source and an emitting member. The light source generates radiation, and the emitting member is located between a first irradiation point and a virtual plane that extends through the edge of a nozzle surface closest to the first irradiation section tangentially to a curved surface. The radiation generated by the light source goes out through the emitting member. A control section controls a transportation speed in such a manner that ink dots formed at a dot formation point should move to the first irradiation point in a second time period that is equal to or shorter than a first time period. The first time period is the time period from the time immediately after the ink dots are formed to the time when the diameter of the ink dots reaches twice the nozzle pitch.

Abstract: It is intended to provide an object-holding sheet and an object-treating equipment, which are useful for arranging objects such as biological materials (e.g., cells, embryos or individuals) or particles having the similar size thereto and efficiently conducting procedures such as analysis and fractionation on the objects. The present invention provides an object-holding sheet for holding two or more objects, the object-holding sheet including: a sheet member having two or more through-holes; and an anti-drop member corresponding to each of the holes, wherein the holes have a size that enables only one of the objects to be held, and the anti-drop member is disposed in the vicinity of one opening of each of the holes so as not to permit the object held in each of the holes to pass through the opening.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recoding medium stores a display control program that causes a computer to execute a process.
