摘要:
Based on a plurality of defects' position-coordinates and attribute detected by an inspecting apparatus, defects that are easily detectable by an observing apparatus are selected. With these selected defects employed as the indicator, the observing apparatus detects and observes the defects. Moreover, creating a coordinate transformation formula for representing a correlated relationship in the defects' position-coordinates between both the apparatuses, the observing apparatus transforms the defects' position-coordinates so as to observe the defects.

In the conventional contaminant particle/defect inspection method, if the illuminance of the illumination beam is held at not more than a predetermined upper limit value not to give thermal damage to the sample, the detection sensitivity and the inspection speed being in the tradeoff relation with each other, it is very difficult to improve one of the detection sensitivity and the inspection speed without sacrificing the other or improve both at the same time. The invention provides an improved optical inspection method and an improved optical inspection apparatus, in which a pulse laser is used as a light source, and a laser beam flux is split into a plurality of laser beam fluxes which are given different time delay to form a plurality of illumination spots. The scattered light signal from each illumination spot is isolated and detected by using a light emission start timing signal for each illumination spot.

An object of the present invention is to provide a capillary electrophoresis apparatus in which simultaneity can be ensured between sensitivity and data acquisition to decrease a pull-up signal while spectral data acquisition is eliminated in each capillary exchange. The invention relates to a capillary electrophoresis apparatus characterized in that a multi-bandpass filter is provided in an optical detection system. In one aspect of the invention, a signal detection area of a two-dimensional detector is divided into plural regions corresponding to wavelength transmission regions of the multi-bandpass filter. An integrated value of the fluorescence spectrum signal is determined in the region including a fluorescence spectrum peak of an analysis sample in the plural regions. The analysis is performed with the integrated value.

In order to suppress base line drift due to change in a light source and to start analysis with a short waiting time so as to improve quantitative accuracy of analysis, a detected signal in a measurement wavelength and a detected signal in a reference wavelength are measured at each of arbitrary light intensity points by varying light intensity of a light source, and the corresponding relationship between the wavelengths is stored. An incident light intensity of the measurement wavelength is estimated from a detected signal in the reference wavelength based on the stored data.

An NMR imaging method using a rotating field gradient is disclosed in which transverse magnetization is prepared in a portion of an object to be inspected, by the 90.degree.-180.degree. RF pulse excitation, a rotating field gradient is generated to perform a sampling operation for an output signal in a state that the position of signal in a phase space is revolved, the intensity or rotational speed of the rotating field gradient is varied stepwise or continuously to obtain data arranged on concentric circles or a spiral in the phase space, and the data thus obtained undergoes Fourier transformation in each of a plurality of radial directions or two-dimensional Fourier transformation, to form an image of spin distribution.

The present invention is an imaging method using three-dimensional NMR to which an echo-planar method is applied. After excitation of nuclear spins, the gradient magnetic field Gx for phase-encoding is applied and there is repeated a sequence of measuring and obtaining an echo train of spin-echoes with a constant gradient magnetic field Gx and a periodically-inverted gradient magnetic field Gy, as varying the amount of encoding, so as to obtain the three-dimensional imaging by the Fourier-conversion. Moreover, after the selective excitation of spins within an X-Y surface, a 180.degree. radio frequency pulse is applied. As varying the time difference .tau..sub..epsilon. between the interval from the excitation until the application of the 180.degree. radio frequency pulse and the interval from the application thereof until a peak of a first echo of an echo train, three-dimensional imaging is carried out with a chemical shift axis as one axis by repeating the sequence and accomplishing Fourier-conversion with .tau..sub..epsilon. as a numerical variable.
