    摘要: A microfluidic device includes a microfluidic chip and an ultrasonic stator. A holding portion is formed at the ultrasonic stator to hold the microfluidic chip. The microfluidic chip is formed of a substrate with a very small channel, and a valve is provided movably in the channel. The cross section of an upstream portion of the channel is larger than that of a downstream portion. When the valve is moved to the downstream side, the valve closes and decouples the downstream portion of the channel. When the valve is moved to the upstream side, the upstream and downstream portions of the channel are coupled. The valve is moved by a traveling wave generated by the ultrasonic stator, and the traveling wave is transmitted to the substrate via the holding portion.

    摘要: This invention employs an object information acquiring apparatus including a probe for receiving, as a received signal, an acoustic wave which is generated within an object irradiated with light and propagates on an object surface, and a processor for generating object information, which is information based on an internal optical characteristic value of the object, by using intensity of the received signal. The processor corrects the intensity of the received signal by using the reflectance upon the acoustic wave entering the probe which is calculated based on the angle of the acoustic wave entering the probe, and on the acoustic impedance and acoustic velocity of the object and the probe.

    摘要: When a subject is pressed by a plate and an acoustic wave is received by a probe via the plate, the acoustic wave is refracted because of the difference between a sound velocity in the subject and a sound velocity in the plate. When the refraction is not considered, a reduction in resolution occurs. A correction table or a correction formula for correcting image distortion associated with refraction is provided. After image information is acquired, new image information is acquired in accordance with the correction table or the correction formula, and is displayed.
