Abstract:
There are provided a cemented carbide high in thermal diffusivity and excellent in wear resistance, and a cutting tool including a base material formed of this cemented carbide. The cemented carbide is a WC based cemented carbide in which a hard phase mainly constituted of WC grains is bound by a binder phase mainly constituted of Co, and is used for a cutting tool. The binder phase is substantially constituted of Co, or Co and Ni. A total content of Co and Ni is not less than 4.5 mass % and not more than 15 mass %. In this cemented carbide, the WC grains have an average diameter of not less than 0.4 µm and not more than 4 µm. Assuming that the average diameter of the WC grain is represented by x (µm), the cemented carbide has a thermal diffusivity X (cm 2 /sec) satisfying X > 0.055x + 0.238. The cemented carbide can further contain one or more elements selected from Cr, Ta, Nb, Zr, and Ti at not less than 0.05 mass % and not more than 5 mass % in total.
Abstract:
A microscope that makes it possible to acquire a hyperspectral image with high data precision includes a light source, an illumination optical system, an image-forming optical system, an imaging unit, a spectroscope, a stage, a drive unit, and a control unit. The illumination optical system converges, at a converging angle ¸, illuminating light in a wavelength band included in the near-infrared region output from the light source, and emits the converged illuminating light onto the object being observed. The image-forming optical system forms an image based on transmitted and scattered light generated by the observed object by emission of the illuminating light onto the observed object. The sin ¸ is set to a value that does not exceed the numerical aperture of an objective lens that receives the transmitted and scattered light from the observed object.
Abstract:
A quality evaluation method includes an acquisition step of acquiring spectral data related to transmitted light or diffusely reflected light from a cell mass by irradiating the cell mass with measurement light including near-infrared light, and an evaluation step of evaluating quality of the cell mass, based on the spectral data of the cell mass acquired in the acquisition step.
Abstract:
Provided is a microscope device which includes: (1) a light source (10) that outputs illumination light in a wavelength band including a near-infrared region; (2) an illumination optical system (30) that irradiates an observation target (90) with the illumination light output from the light source; (3) an image formation optical system (40) that includes a spectroscopic unit which is configured to receive and disperse transmitted or scattered light produced at the observation target by irradiating the observation target with the illumination light, and that forms an image on the basis of the dispersed transmitted or scattered light; and (4) an image capturing unit (50A) that acquires the image formed by the image formation optical system. An illumination-light-irradiated area of the observation target is larger than an area of the field of view of the image formation optical system (40), and is less than or equal to ten times the area of the field of view.
Abstract:
A method for producing an ammonium tungstate aqueous solution includes the steps of: adding sulfuric acid to a solution containing tungstate ions; bringing the solution having the sulfuric acid added therein, into contact with an anion exchange resin; and bringing the anion exchange resin into contact with an aqueous solution containing ammonium ions.
