    摘要: Disclosed is a wafer inspecting apparatus suitable to determine whether a scattering substance is a surface foreign matter or an internal defect even if the particle size of the scattering substance is smaller than the wavelength of irradiation rays used for inspection. The wafer is obliquely irradiated with irradiation rays at the Brewster angle, and scattered rays which are scattered from a scattering substance on or in the wafer are detected at and angle 0° and an angle of the Brewster angle or more by detectors. Then, it is determined whether the scattering substance is a surface foreign matter or an internal defect on the basis of a ratio between the intensities of the scattered rays detected by the detectors. The intensity of scattered rays which are scattered from a surface foreign matter and detected at an angle of the Brewster angle or more is larger than the intensity of scattered rays which are scattered from the foreign matter and detected at an angle 0°, and the intensity of scattered rays which are scattered from an internal defect and detected at an angle of the Brewster angle or more is smaller than the intensity of scattered rays which are scattered from the internal defect and detected at an angle 0°. This makes it possible to distinguish the surface foreign matter and the internal defect from each other.

    摘要: A convenient method for nucleic acid analysis is provided, which enables 1000 or more types of nucleic acid to be analyzed collectively with high comprehensiveness and with a dynamic range of at least four digits. In particular, provided is a very effective analytical method especially for untranslated RNAs and microRNAs, of which the types of target nucleic acids is 10000 or lower. Nucleic acids can be analyzed conveniently and rapidly with high comprehensiveness and quantitative performance at single-molecule sensitivity and resolution by following the steps of: preparing a group of target nucleic acid fragments one molecule at a time and hybridizing the nucleic acid molecules, which have known base sequences and have been labeled with the fluorescence substances, with the group of the target nucleic acid fragments to detect the fluorescence substances labeling the hybridized nucleic acid molecules.

    摘要: When multiple kinds of bacterial colonies are present in a petri dish and, for example, a drug tolerance is to be measured, harvesting of mixed colonies of different types of bacteria makes it impossible to accurately determine the drug tolerance. Also, it is required to improve the throughput of a device for harvesting a bacterial colony. From images illuminated from multiple directions, isolating bacterial colonies are automatically extracted. Next, the image feature amounts are calculated from the multiple images that are illuminated from multiple directions and colonies are grouped depending on the feature amounts. Then, bacterial colonies to be harvested are determined based on the results of the grouping.

    摘要: An apparatus measures individual measurement sites on a DNA chip in a short period of time. The DNA chip is irradiated by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) so as to excite fluorescent dye at each measurement site, and fluorescence emitted from the individual measurement sites is detected all at once. Since substantially uniform measurement conditions can be obtained for each measurement site, measurement accuracy increases. The read mechanism requires less space and is less costly, thereby decreasing the failure rate and virtually eliminating the need for maintenance of the apparatus.

    摘要: The troublesomeness during the setting of a plurality of capillaries is eliminated by composing pairs of electrodes, which are electrically connected to the common electrode, and capillaries. By bringing electrodes installed in the vicinity of each capillary disposed at the pitch of wells on the side of sample plate (within the area of the wells) into electrical contact with a common electrode, the capillaries and electrodes are made integral in construction. When a voltage is applied to the electrophoretic instrument via a common electrode portion, the voltage is applied to the electrodes for each capillary. This enables an inexpensive microtiter plate, etc. to be used and a multiple of capillaries to be simultaneously inserted, attached and detached.
