Abstract:
The present invention provides a cell culture vessel/sample observation cell that is capable of culturing cells or cell tissue in three dimensions and allowing a three-dimensional structure of the cells or the cell tissue to be perceived easily. The cell culture vessel/sample observation cell according to the present invention for containing a culture gel in which the cells or the cell tissue is embedded, comprises a frame, at least one window bordered by the frame, and at least one projection projecting from the frame inwardly into the cell culture vessel/sample observation cell, wherein the at least one window is light-permeable and nutrient component-permeable and is placed in such a way as to allow for multifaceted observation of the cells or the cell tissue, and the projection has a feature point to be placed at a position where the cells or the cell tissue as well as the feature point can be observed from the window.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a cell culture vessel or a sample cell for observation use that makes it possible to observe three-dimensionally-cultured cells from various angles. The cell culture vessel or the sample cell for observation use according to the present invention is characterized by being equipped with a culture gel in which a cell or cell tissue is embedded and a first vessel which encloses the culture gel, wherein a space in the first vessel is filled with the culture gel; and the first vessel has a light-permeable window made from a hydrogel.

Abstract:
Provided is a dye-sensitized solar cell, and a method for manufacturing the same, that in a technology in which a current collector electrode is used instead of a transparent conductive film, can be manufactured by a simple cell producing operation and is capable of achieving a desirably thin thickness for the current collector electrode. A dye-sensitized solar cell 10 includes a transparent substrate 12 provided on the side where solar light is incident, a conductive substrate 14 that serves as a cathode and is provided opposite the transparent substrate 12, a porous semiconductor layer 16, a porous conductive metal layer 18 that serves as a current collector electrode, and a porous insulating layer 20. The porous conductive metal layer 18 is a layer that has a thickness of 0.3 μm to 100 μm and is deposited on the porous insulating layer 20. The porous conductive metal layer 18 is arranged in contact with the porous semiconductor layer 16 on the side that is opposite to the transparent substrate 12, and serves as an anode. The porous insulating layer 20 is arranged on the side of the porous conductive metal layer 18 opposite to the porous semiconductor layer 16. The conductive substrate 14 is arranged facing the porous insulating layer 20.
