Abstract: An imaging system images measurement targets arranged on a plane and includes a light source that irradiates the measurement targets with light, a photodetector that detects light from the measurement targets, one or more lenses, an adjustment mechanism that focuses imaging on the measurement targets, and a drive mechanism that changes the relative position of the photodetector and the measurement targets. The measurement targets have the same shape and size and are arranged at equal pitches in a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction on the plane, based on a value obtained by multiplying the pitch of the measurement targets by an imaging magnification that is an integer multiple of two or more times of a pixel pitch of the photodetector. In the changing of the relative position by the drive mechanism, an adjustment unit of an imaging range is equal to or less than the pixel pitch.

Abstract: A noise processing apparatus measures a first potential difference signal, between a first electrode and a second electrode that is used as a reference electrode, and measures a second potential difference signal, between the second electrode and a third electrode that is arranged on the steering unit in the apparatus. The apparatus calculates the difference between the intensities of the first potential difference signal and the second potential difference signal calculated at the predetermined intervals. The apparatus corrects the first potential difference signal or the second potential difference signal by using the calculated difference such that the intensities of the first potential difference signal and the second potential difference signal are canceled out.
