Abstract: An image forming device includes a central processing unit (CPU).

Abstract: A specimen support tool for supporting a slice prepared by using a microtome includes a specimen support member on which a groove for guiding the slice is formed.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a processor, in which the processor causes an operation part for executing a predetermined function and relevant information related to the predetermined function to be displayed on a screen of a display, accepts execution of the predetermined function by a continuous operation on the operation part, and changes a portion of the relevant information to be displayed on the screen according to progress of the continuous operation on the operation part during a period from the start of the operation on the operation part to the acceptance of the execution.

Abstract: A film sheet holder handling apparatus 100 takes up a film sheet holder 4 in which photographic film strips 5 cut by the unit of one consumer's order amount are inserted into independent rows of pockets of the holder. The apparatus includes a film detecting sensor 19 for detecting presence/absence of the transported film sheet holder 4, a take-up member 30 for taking up the holder 4 by a predetermined amount corresponding to certain number of rows of the holder, and a push-out bar 41 for pushing out the holder 4 from the take-up member 30 after completion of the take-up operation by the take-up member 30 in a direction normal to the direction of transporting the holder 4.

Abstract: A film processing apparatus includes a film inserting device operable to receive negative film strips cut into a predetermined length and transported from a film transporting device and then to insert the film strips one after another into each independent film-holding pocket of a film sheet holder. A planar member is disposed adjacent an inserting opening of the film sheet holder and displaceable by contacting the film being transported. In association with the planar member, a jamming detection sensor is provided for detecting a jammed condition of the film according to a displacement of the planar member.
