A sensor unit of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay system includes a transparent dielectric medium. A thin film has a first surface and a sensing surface. The first surface is connected with the dielectric medium to constitute an interface. The sensing surface is back to the first surface, for detecting (bio) chemical reaction. A flow cell block has a flow channel for flowing of the sample to the sensing surface. Attenuated total reflection of illuminating light is checked at the interface, to analyze interaction between ligand and analyte as samples. The flow channel includes a first inner surface, disposed opposite to the sensing surface to extend along, for passing the sample to flow between. The first inner surface has a height, defined with reference to the sensing surface, and in a range of 200-500 microns.

摘要:
A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a sheet holding device for holding a stimulable phosphor sheet on a cylindrical surface, and a spinner having a deflection mirror for reflecting stimulating rays coming from a semi-transparent mirror to the stimulable phosphor sheet, and a condensing lens which converges the reflected stimulating rays on the stimulable phosphor sheet and which has equal focal lengths with respect to stimulating rays and light emitted by the stimulable phosphor sheet. The deflection mirror and the condensing lens rotate together to scan the stimulating rays on the stimulable phosphor sheet in a main scanning direction, which sheet is moved in a sub-scanning direction. A detection lens converges the emitted light, which has passed through the condensing lens and comes from the semi-transparent mirror. An aperture plate allows only the emitted light after being thus converged to pass therethrough, and a photodetector is positioned at the rear of the aperture plate to detect the emitted light.
