Abstract:
The focus detection accuracy of a focus detection device that employs an external AF sensor unit having a pair of line sensors that are each comprised of multiple unit line sensors is improved. The individual line sensors are arranged so that the center of the field of view of an imaging optical system at a predetermined subject distance, at which field-of-view adjustment for causing the field of view of the imaging optical system and the field of view of a focus-detection optical system to match has been carried out, corresponds to the center of one of the multiple unit line sensors included in the individual line sensors.
Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus which is capable of accurately detecting a blur of a shot image. AF evaluation values are calculated before and after shooting for recording an image representing the subject image in a recording medium is performed. The correlation between the AF evaluation values calculated before the shooting and the signal indicative of the focus generated after the shooting is determined. It is determined whether the correlation is lower than a first threshold value and higher than a second threshold value.
Abstract:
A reproducing apparatus for detecting a reproduction stop date when reproduction of image data is stopped in the past, and for determining a reproduction start position in the image data on a basis of the reproduction stop date, and further for starting the reproduction of the image data from the determined reproduction start position in response to an instruction of starting reproduction.

Abstract:
A pixel selection unit sets an area based on a detection result of a contrast detection unit, in a case where it is determined that reliability of a focusing state detected by a phase difference detection unit is low.
Abstract:
A display control apparatus that can display information which is not set to be displayed in a mode after switching, when the mode is switched. A mode of the apparatus is switched between a first mode and a second mode. Information set to be displayed in the first mode and the second mode is selected, respectively, among a plurality of kinds of information, and then the selected information are displayed on the display device, in the first mode and in the second mode. Information except for information which is set to be displayed in the second mode, among the plurality of kinds of information, is displayed in response to switching instruction from the first mode to the second mode.
Abstract:
An external AF focus detecting apparatus capable of achieving both good focus detection accuracy for a subject in a short distance and an appropriate amount of processing for a subject in a long distance is provided. In the case where the distance to the subject is less than a predetermined threshold value, with respect to accumulation pixels SA5 to SA25 selected in one of a pair of line sensors, pixels are selected in the other line sensor so as to include more pixels in the direction of shift of an optical image of a field of view, namely, pixels SB5 to SB29 are selected as accumulation pixels. Alternatively, pixels included in a range obtained by shifting by a predetermined number of pixels from the range of the accumulation pixels that have been selected in the one line sensor are selected as the accumulation pixels in the other line sensor.
Abstract:
A microscope system includes an acquisition unit that obtains a specimen image acquired by capturing the specimen stained by an element identification dye that visualizes a predetermined cell constituent element and a molecule target dye that visualizes a predetermined target molecule by using a microscope; a dye amount unit that obtains dye amounts of the element identification dye and the molecule target dye that stain corresponding positions on the specimen for each pixel of the image; an element area identification unit that identifies an area of the cell constituent element based on the dye amount of the element identification dye; a condition setting unit that sets the presence or absence of the predetermined target molecule on the cell constituent element as a condition; and an extraction unit that extracts an area of a target portion that satisfies the condition based on the dye amount of the molecule target dye.

Abstract:
Polynucleotides which are novel causative genes for cancer are elucidated, and a detection method of the polynucleotides or polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides, and a kit and a primer set for detection are provided, based on the knowledge gained by the elucidation. In the detection method, a fusion gene comprising part of an SDC4, CD74, EZR, SLC34A2, LRIG3, or TPM3 gene and part of a ROS1 gene, or a fusion protein encoded by the fusion gene is detected. The primer set or the detection kit comprises a sense primer designed based on a portion encoding SDC4, CD74, EZR, SLC34A2, LRIG3, or TPM3 and an antisense primer designed based on a portion encoding ROS1.
