    摘要: A diamond probe is suitable to be attached to an Atomic Force Microscope and is created with a tip that incorporates a one or more Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers located near the end of the tip. The probe arm acts as an optical waveguide to propagate the emission from the NV center with high efficiency and a beveled end directs excitation light to the NV center and directs photoluminescence light emanating from the NV center into the probe arm. The light source (or a portion of the light source), a detector, as well as an RF antenna, if used, may be mounted to the probe arm. The probe with integrated components enable excitation of photoluminescence in the NV center as well as optically detected Electron Spin Resonance (ODMR) and temperature measurements, and may further serve as a light probe utilizing the physical effect of Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED).

    摘要: An apparatus and method for triaging patients according to radiation exposure measures electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of fingernails, toenails, and/or teeth. In vivo, radiation induced spectra are obtained from intact fingernails, toenails, or teeth placed within a magnet and with pickup coils over nails between the cut edge at the end of the fingernail and proximal skin or placed adjacent to at least one tooth. The system may also operate in vitro with fingernail clippings. At least three spectra are obtained with one after a delay at above twenty degrees Celsius, and at least one at power levels different from the others. The spectra are used to determine and remove a mechanically induced signal from EPR spectra to determine radiation-induced spectra. The radiation induced spectra are used to determine radiation dose, the dose is compared to triage limits, and a radiological triage tag is printed for the patients.

    摘要: The invention provides apparatus and methods for measuring oxygen tensions in biological systems utilizing physiologically acceptable paramagnetic material, such as India ink or carbon black, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry. India ink is introduced to the biological system and exposed to a magnetic field and an electromagnetic field in the 1-2 GHz range. The EPR spectra is then measured at the biological system to determine oxygen concentration. The EPR spectra is determined by an EPR spectrometer that adjusts the resonator to a single resonator frequency to compensate for movements of the biological system, such as a human or animal. The biological system can also include other in vivo tissues, cells, and cell cultures to directly measure pO.sub.2 non-destructively. The paramagnetic material can be used non-invasively or invasively depending on the goals of the pO2 measurement. A detecting inductive element, as part of the EPR spectrometer resonator, is adapted relative to the measurement particularities.

    摘要: The invention provides a cavity resonator for an electron spin resonance device in which modulation coils for generating a modulation magnetic field to be applied to a sample in the cavity resonator are arranged at an exterior of the cavity resonator. The cavity resonator comprises a body being rectangular-defined by predetermined length, width and height. The body has a pair of side walls being vertical to the modulation magnetic field. The side wall respectively have at least thin portions of a thickness being nearly equal to or less than a skin depth of a skin effect appearing at the side walls. The modulation coils are arranged on the thin portions so as to have the modulation magnetic field be transmitted through the thin portions into the interior of the cavity resonator. Alternatively, it is possible that inner walls of the body are overlaid with metallic foils having at least sufficiently smaller thickness than a skin depth of a skin effect appearing at the walls.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a measuring apparatus and a measuring method which can measure a physical property value such as an oxygen content or thermal conductivity of a sample material such as an aluminum nitride sintered body with high accuracy, over the entire material in a short time. A microwave oscillation source generates microwaves. A sample material to be evaluated, such as an aluminum nitride sintered body, is placed in a cavity resonator, irradiated with microwaves (M), and subjected to a magnetic field (H) applied by electromagnets. An amount of microwaves absorbed by the object is measured by a microwave absorption measuring unit. This amount of microwave absorption is obtained from an electron spin resonance spectrum. The concentration of unpaired electrons in the object is obtained from the measured amount of microwave absorption on the basis of a known relation between an amount of microwave absorption and concentration of unpaired electrons. The concentration of unpaired electrons is converted into a physical property value such as an oxygen content or a thermal conductivity value. Such conversion processing is carried out by a computer.

    摘要: The invention provides a simple, non-invasive method of screening malignant hyperthermia using a few milliliters of blood drawn from an individual into an acid-citrate anti-coagulant. When blood preservation is not needed, the blood specimen is stored for several hours at room temperature, after which a small amount of blood is taken into a cuvette with the optical path of 0.1 mm. Then, by measuring optical densities at wavelengths of 542 and 578 nm, the susceptibility for malignant hyperthermia can be determined. When a blood specimen has to be shipped to a distant screening center, the specimen can be stored in a styroform container at 0.degree.-4.degree. C. with either wet ice or artificial coolant and delivered by an express carrier service. Upon arrival, optical measurement is done in a similar fashion.
