摘要:
An illumination apparatus used for fluorescence observation of a sample containing a fluorescent material by a microscope apparatus, comprising an excitation light emission unit that emits excitation light for exciting the fluorescent material contained in the sample. The excitation light emission unit illuminates at least a bleaching reduction illumination region around an observed region in which the sample is present.

An objective optical system comprising a lens group that forms an object image, a polarizing beam splitter having an optical path dividing surface that divides an optical path into a first optical path that intersects the optical axis of the lens group and a second optical path that extends straight on the optical axis, a first reflection surface provided in the first optical path, a second reflection surface provided in the second optical path, and a quarter wave plate provided between the polarizing beam splitter and the first reflection surface. The objective optical system satisfies the following conditional expression (1):
(Tp+Ts)/(100−Ts)≥1.25 (1)
where Tp (%) is the transmittance of the optical path dividing surface for p-polarized light, and Ts (%) is the transmittance of the optical path dividing surface for s-polarized light.

A light sheet illumination microscope includes an illumination optical system configured to illuminate a sample from a direction substantially perpendicular to an optical axis of a detection optical system. The illumination optical system includes a first optical element configured to convert light emitted from a light source into a light sheet that forms an illumination area having a sheet shape substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the detection optical system when the sample is irradiated with the light sheet. The illumination optical system further includes a second optical element that configured to act on the light emitted from the light source such that the light sheet is converged, diverged or diffracted in a width direction of the light sheet.

A cell culturing device includes: a sensor that measures a pH of a medium in which cells are being cultured; and one or more processors including hardware. The one or more processors are configured to: measure an elapsed time since the cells were seeded in the medium; determine whether the measured pH is lower than a prescribed threshold and whether the measured elapsed time has passed a prescribed time; and issue an instruction for medium replacement in response to determining that the pH is lower than the prescribed threshold or in response to determining that the elapsed time has passed the prescribed time.

A bending measurement apparatus includes a first multimode fiber, a wavefront input apparatus, a first wavefront measurement device, and a processor. The wavefront input apparatus inputs a first wavefront to the first multimode fiber as an input wavefront. The first wavefront measurement device measures an output wavefront outputted from the first multimode fiber as a measured wavefront. The processor select correspondence information which corresponds to the measured wavefront. The correspondence information shows a correspondence relationship between the input wavefront and the output wavefront. The processor sets the bending amount corresponding to the selected correspondence information as a current bending amount of the first multimode fiber.
