  • Publication number: 20160216506
    Abstract: An optical module includes a circuit substrate that has a concave portion and a flat surface, an optical sensor that is disposed inside a space, and an optical filter device that has a base which accommodates a variable wavelength interference filter and has a light-through hole through which light emitted from the variable wavelength interference filter passes and a first glass member which is disposed in the light-through hole. The first glass member is positioned inside the space. The base is bonded to the flat surface. The distance between the first glass member and the optical sensor is set to a distance at which light emitted from the variable wavelength interference filter does not interfere between the first glass member and the optical sensor.

  • Patent number: 9024258
    Abstract: An analysis method includes spectroscopically separating light from a light source via a subject into plural wavelength ranges, imaging the subject with respect to each wavelength range, and thereby, acquiring plural spectroscopic images, dividing a subject image into plural areas in each of the spectroscopic images, analyzing a spectrum of the spectroscopically-separated lights of each area with respect to the plural spectroscopic images, and thereby, analyzing a spectral characteristic, and analyzing a component of the subject based on the spectral characteristic in at least one area of the plural areas, and has a pixel selection step of eliminating the area having the same spectral characteristic as the spectral characteristic with respect to the light from the light source from objects of the analysis of the component before the analyzing of the component.
