    摘要: According to one embodiment, a particle inspection system includes a voltage driving circuit which applies a driving voltage for a particle inspection to a particle inspection chip, a current-voltage conversion circuit which converts, into a voltage signal, a current signal output from the particle inspection chip when the driving voltage is applied to the particle inspection chip, a detection circuit which detects, based on the voltage signal, whether the sample liquid is introduced into a detection region of the particle inspection chip, and an analysis circuit which analyzes the fine particle, in the sample liquid based on the voltage signal. The voltage driving circuit varies the driving voltage based on the detection result of the detection circuit.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a sensor includes a base body, a first movable structure body, and a first fixed structure body. The first movable structure body includes first movable electrodes. A direction from the base body toward the first movable electrodes is aligned with a first direction. A distance between the base body and the plurality of first movable electrodes is changeable. A direction from one of the first movable electrodes toward an other one of the first movable electrodes is aligned with a second direction crossing the first direction. The first fixed structure body includes first fixed electrodes. One of the first fixed electrodes is between the one of the first movable electrodes and the other one of the first movable electrodes. A first movable electrode length along the first direction is shorter than a first fixed electrode length along the first direction.
