| 20100081561 | OPTICAL MATERIAL AND OPTICAL ELEMENT - Provided is an optical element, which is formed by vacuum-sintering a molded body of ceramic particles having an average particle diameter of 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less and including Ln | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100097584 | EXPOSURE APPARATUS AND DEVICE FABRICATION METHOD - An exposure apparatus which exposes a substrate via a liquid supplied between a projection optical system and the substrate, the apparatus comprises a gas supply-recovery mechanism configured to blow a gas around the liquid, wherein the gas supply-recovery mechanism includes a nozzle unit in which a supply port configured to supply the gas, and a recovery port which is arranged nearer to an optical axis of the projection optical system than the supply port and is configured to recover the gas are formed, and wherein the nozzle unit is configured such that a first portion which is adjacent to the supply port and is nearer to the optical axis than the supply port is closer to an image plane of the projection optical system than a second portion which is adjacent to the supply port and is farther from the optical axis than the supply port. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100141911 | EXPOSURE APPARATUS AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - An exposure apparatus, exposing a substrate via liquid so as to transfer a pattern of a mask onto the substrate, includes a stage configured to move while holding the substrate. The stage includes a substrate supporting portion on which the substrate is disposed, a supporting surface disposed outside the substrate supporting portion configured to support the liquid together with the substrate, and a frame portion formed so as to surround the supporting surface. The frame portion includes a depression and a member whose top surface is located in a plane including the supporting surface. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20090082626 | ENDOSCOPE AND ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM - An endoscope has an insertion portion, an abutment portion, an increasing device and an observation portion. The insertion portion is an insertion portion which can be inserted into a subject. The abutment portion is provided at a distal end portion of the insertion portion. The abutment portion provided at the distal end portion can contact with the subject. The increasing device increases the abutment area of the abutment portion. The observation portion performs observation of the subject on the abutment portion provided at the distal end portion and having been increased by the increasing device, or performs observation of the subject spaced by a predetermined distance by the increased abutment portion. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090088601 | ENDOSCOPE AND ENDOSCOPY METHOD - An endoscope has an insertion portion, a contact portion, an observation portion and a marking portion. The insertion portion can be inserted into a body cavity. The contact portion is provided at a distal end portion of the insertion portion. The contact portion provided at the distal end portion can be in contact with a subject. The observation portion is provided at the contact portion. The marking portion is provided at the contact portion. The marking portion applies a marker to the subject with which the contact portion is in contact. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100073731 | IMAGE GENERATING APPARATUS - An image generating apparatus according to the present invention includes: a first light source unit that emits light in a first wavelength band to a subject; a second light source unit that emits light in a second wavelength band, which is a part of the first wavelength band, to the subject; an image pickup unit that picks up an image of the subject and outputs the image as an image pickup signal; a light cut filter unit that cuts light in the second wavelength band reflected from the subject; and a complementary processing unit that applies complementary processing to a component equivalent to the second wavelength band cut by the light cut filter unit in the image of the subject picked up by the image pickup unit in a state in which the subject is illuminated by the light in the first wavelength band. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100137682 | ENDOSCOPE - There is provided an endoscope capable of observing cells at a desired position existing in the depth direction with a simple structure as compared to the conventional configuration. The endoscope includes an insert unit to be inserted into a biological body, a low-scaling observation system for observing an observation position in a biological body with a low scaling, and a high-scaling observation system for observing a target position of the aforementioned observation position as a local position with a high scaling. The high-scaling observation system includes a plurality of illumination units for applying illumination light for high-scaling observation of the target position. The illumination units are arranged at predetermined positions of the end face of the insert unit. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20110157340 | FLUORESCENT IMAGE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ACQUIRING FLUORESCENT IMAGE - A fluorescent imaging device includes an irradiation section that irradiates an object to be examined with excitation light and reference light, an image pickup section that picks up a fluorescence image based on the excitation light and a reflected light image based on the reference light, a comparison section that compares relative intensity between the fluorescent image generated from the fluorescence image and the reflected light image generated from the reflected light image, and a selection section that selectively outputs one of the reflected light image and the fluorescent image based on the comparison result. | 06-30-2011 |
