摘要:
Caries located at a position that cannot be directly viewed, such as one of the adjacent surfaces between teeth, can be observed with high contrast, and the spread and the degree of invasion of the caries can be observed. A dental observation apparatus has: an irradiating unit radiating illumination light including an infrared region; a detecting unit separately detecting fluorescence generated from a caries portion by irradiation with the illumination light and scattered light of the illumination light at the tooth; and an image processing unit which forms a fluorescence image based on the fluorescence detected by the detecting unit, which forms a scattered light image capable of identifying a boundary between an enamel layer and a dentine layer, the layers having different scattering properties, based on the intensity of the scattered light detected by the detecting unit, and which combines the fluorescence image and the scattered light image.

Before performing observation with an optical scanning probe using a low-coherence light source and the like, a shutter is inserted in a reference light side optical path to create a state wherein interference light does not occur, in which state a reference member is set to a focal position of a converging optical system such that the output of a light detector is maximal by moving the reference member by a driving device at an observation light optical path side of an optical scanning probe, following which the shutter is opened, and the position of a mirror at the reference light side is moved and set such that the output of the light detecting means is maximal, thereby enabling the optical scanning observation apparatus to be set to a state of suitable optical properties, easily and smoothly.

The invention aims to make it unnecessary to reposition an objective lens when repeatedly carrying out examinations. It is possible to carry out in vivo examination of tissue such as cells and muscle tissue or various internal organs, such as the heart, liver, and so forth, of mammals, especially small experimental animals, over a comparatively long period of time. A microscope system having an objective optical system unit and a structure or member for fixing the objective optical system unit to a living body is provided.

The labor involved in cleaning for each examination is reduced, the examination can be carried out hygienically, and the convenience of use is improved. An electrode apparatus for detecting brain waves which is arranged in contact with the scalp and which detects brain wave signals is provided. The electrode apparatus for detecting brain waves comprises a rod-shaped electrode apparatus main body having an electrode disposed at the tip thereof, a cap which is mountable on the tip of the electrode apparatus main body and which has an elastic member which contains an electrolyte and which is disposed making close contact so as to cover the electrode, and a connection means which detachably connects the cap to the electrode apparatus main body.

It is possible for the tips of all the electrodes to make contact with the scalp with greater reliability even with respect to different subjects, by adaptation to individual differences in the heads of subjects, and the functional status of the brain can be detected with greater accuracy. A brain function detection apparatus is provided which has a hat-shaped apparatus main body for mounting on the head of a subject, a plurality of electrodes for detecting brain wave signals, which are mounted in the apparatus main body separated from each other at intervals, and which are arranged in contact with the scalp, and the apparatus main body has a plurality of holder pieces in which at least one electrode is mounted, a bendable belt for linking the holder pieces, and a holder piece interval-adjusting apparatus for adjusting the distance between the holder pieces.
