A light source portion having an acousto-optic element produces a laser beam of two light components having a frequency difference .DELTA.w and having registered polarization directions. The laser beam is subsequently divided by a half mirror. One of the divided laser beams is detected by a photoelectric detector as reference light, and a corresponding signal is applied to a synchronism detector. The other laser beam is projected by a scanning optical system to the surface of, e.g., an original to be examined to scan the same. At the position on the surface irradiated by the scanning light spot, the laser beam is modulated at a beat frequency .DELTA.w on the basis of optical heterodyne interference. A synchronism detector detects a signal corresponding to the scattered light from a particle or defect on the surface being examined, in synchronism with the frequency of the reference light, whereby the particle or defect can be detected with a good signal-to-noise ratio.

The present invention relates to a disposable liner comprised of a thin sheet plastics material formed into a long tube having left and right sides and a top and bottom. The tube is closed at each end by end panels formed by folded end flaps of the tube. One end panel has located therein an inlet port and an outlet port formed of reinforced plastics sheet material in the form of tubes attached to the panel. Each port surrounds an aperture in the panel. Upper hook fasteners are located at least at the left and right top corners of the liner at both ends thereof and a lower fastener is located along the bottom edge of the liner at one end thereof. The interior surface of the end panel of the liner opposite the inlet port is protected with a flap made of reinforced plastics material.
摘要:
The separation of constituents is carried out in such a way that a mixed amino acid sample is supplied to a separation column packed with a cation exchange resin and that, during the analysis of the single sample, five sorts of elutes of different compositions are supplied to the separation column in succession and by stages. The pH of the elute at the second stage is held higher than that of the elute at the first stage, and the pH's of the elutes at the third to fifth stages are held successively higher. However, the pH of the elute at the third stage is held lower than that of the elute at the second stage. On the other hand, the concentrations of counter ions contained in the elutes at the first to fifth stages are held successively higher inversely to the order in which the elutes are supplied. Notwithstanding that the pH of the elute at the third stage is lowered, the broadening of a component peak can be prevented by the increase of the counter ion concentration. Moreover, the analytical time is shortened as a whole.
