PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical characteristics measuring device and an optical characteristics measuring method, capable of measuring the optical characteristics, with higher accuracy, such as film thickness and refractive index, in a thin-film sample whose refractive index is unknown. SOLUTION: Extremal values (peak positions and valley positions) appearing in an absolute reflectivity spectrum at each measured incident angle are extracted. Wavenumber 1/λ values which are the reciprocals of the wavelength λ values, corresponding to the extracted extremal values are acquired one by one. The wavenumber 1/λ values are rearranged in their ascending order, i.e. in the descending order of the wavelength λ values, the order of the longest wavelength λ value is set with N=1, and integers obtained by increasing the order N by an increment of 1 each time are assigned one by one to the remaining ones. Parameters are determined through fitting, with respect to the relation with respect to the order N and the wavenumber 1/λ. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical anisotropy measuring device and an optical anisotropy measuring method to accurately measure optical anisotropy according to the characteristics of an object to be measured. SOLUTION: A light source 118 generates light of a wavelength range including a predetermined ultraviolet wavelength range (for example, 185-400 nm), and an emission part 114 emits circularly polarized light to the object to be measured OBJ. A spectrum part 120 makes spectrum diffraction of reflected light generated by reflection of incidence light by the object to be measured OBJ, and a multichannel photo detector 120b outputs the spectrum of the reflected light. A data processing part 2 measures the optical anisotropy of the object to be measured OBJ based on an ellipso-parameter of a specific wavelength of the spectrum of the reflected light.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a micro-measuring device capable of varying a magnification and/or detection range without changing an objective. SOLUTION: The micro-measuring device is equipped with: a first intermediate lens L1 fixed in a lens barrel 11 and condensing parallel beams from the objective Lo; a half mirror HM allowing a part of light passing the objective Lo and the first intermediate lens L1 to pass through and bending a part of the light; a second intermediate lens L2 installed movably along an optical path C at a position where the light bent by the half mirror HM passes; a detector 16 provided ahead of the second intermediate lens L2 and installed movably along the optical axis C; moving mechanisms M1 and M2 moving the second intermediate lens L2 and the detector 16 so as to align the image forming position of the detector 16 with a condensing point where light from a sample S is converged by the second intermediate lens L2; and a control part 16 adjusting the moving amount of the moving mechanisms M1 and M2.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply an image signal having measures against coloration of a moving part of an image to a display. SOLUTION: An image signal corresponding to the moving part of the image is acquired, a color B having predetermined relation (complementary color relation) with coloration R+G of an edge part of a moving picture of the acquired image signal is added to the edge part to cancel tinting of the edge, and the image signal to which the color canceling the coloration of the edge is added is supplied to a color display.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly measure the particle diameter of low density ribonucleoprotein LDL in blood, by utilizing a simple apparatus constitution using a dynamic light scattering method, and to evaluate the degree of arteriosclerosis. SOLUTION: A particle diameter distribution of the LDL contained in serum or plasma collected from a human body, is measured by the dynamic light scattering method. The particle diameter distribution, with a 50% average value within a range of 10 nm-50 nm, is identified. The variance value as an index for indicating the degree of a spread of the identified particle diameter distribution, is calculated quantitatively. The degree of arteriosclerosis of an individual is evaluated by the calculated variance value as an evaluation factor. The age and sex of the individual are taken into consideration so as to accurately evaluate the degree of arteriosclerosis. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scattered light measuring device, assuring the largest possible scattering angle by reducing a space between a projection axis and a light receiving axis without increasing the diameter of a scattered beam and lowering the quantity of a scattered light. SOLUTION: Optical axis control plates T, J, each with both parallel and planar faces are arranged at an angle to portions of parallel light fluxes between a projection lens 4 and a condenser lens 5 or between a light receiving lens 6 and the condenser lens 5. Both parallel light fluxes can approach each other as they remain in a parallel relationship. Thus, the scattering angle can be made to approach 180° without reducing the quantity of the light.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multipoint measuring apparatus by which a plurality of points are simultaneously measured by selecting and changing over an optical path even when only a single measuring channel of an optical measuring device exists. SOLUTION: The multipoint measuring apparatus is provided with a light source 1 and a light source 2; a plurality of projection fibers 5, 6 used to irradiate beams of light from the light sources at the plurality of points; a plurality of light receiving fibers 8, 9 used to collect beams of transmitted light, reflected light, scattered light and the like from the plurality of points; a beam selector 10 composed of a rotating disk 12 having one transmission hole used to pass the beams of light collected by the plurality of fibers 8, 9 to any one light receiving fiber; and an MCPD 4. Consequently, when the rotating disk 12 is turned and when the transmission hole is brought to, and made at a standstill in, a position passing the beams of light in a channel to be measured, the beams of light in the light receiving fiber are transmitted and measured. When the beams of light in other channels are measured, the rotating disk is turned by a prescribed angle. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
