- One of the features of the overall configuration of the present detection device is that it is small and lightweight, but this is largely due to the fact that the light source 46 can be made small. In addition, smaller pipes may reduce the use of mercury, which is being regulated as a hazardous substance.
- the cold cathode tube has excellent operational stability, as shown in Fig. 36.
- the horizontal axis is the lighting time of the fluorescent tube
- the vertical axis is the illuminance (irradiation intensity).
- the cold cathode tube has a lower illuminance immediately after lighting than the hot cathode tube.
- the illuminance of the hot cathode tube continues to decrease, while the illuminance of the cold cathode tube does not decrease, indicating that the illuminance is extremely stable with a fluctuation of 5% or less. . This is especially important in biological experiments and tests where quantitative value is important.
- FIG. 37 is a graph showing the temperature change of the characteristics of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp. According to this graph, it can be seen that the illuminance decreases as the temperature decreases. Even at the same room temperature, cooling with a fan suppresses the rise in illuminance.
- the slow rise in the irradiation intensity of the cold cathode tube can be improved by warming the cold cathode tube. Since the amount of light depends on the number of electrons emitted from the electrodes, it is preferable to heat the electrodes of the cold cathode tube.
- a device having a heating effect such as a heating wire or a Peltier element, is wrapped in an electric heater as needed, and heated by approaching or contacting the cold cathode tube electrode. Once the heating is completed, any further heating will destabilize the operation, so the heating should be stopped after a certain period of time. It is preferable to provide a control mechanism that measures the temperature at or near the electrode section and stops heating when the temperature reaches a certain temperature.
- a temperature control mechanism that can perform not only heating but also cooling is provided, it is not impossible to stabilize the operation even with a hot cathode tube. Therefore, if a hot-cathode tube having a light-emitting portion with a tube diameter of about 3 to 12 mm is manufactured, it can be used for a small irradiation device in some cases. Alternatively, increasing the voltage applied to the cold-cathode tube also increases the illuminance, so apply a high voltage only immediately after lighting, and after a certain period of time, or when a certain temperature or illuminance is reached, increase the voltage. Control for lowering may be performed.
- the illuminance of the fluorescent tube can be changed because the impeller substrate for lighting the fluorescent tube or a similar power supply circuit changes the output voltage when the input voltage changes.
- a control mechanism may be provided to individually change the voltage input to the inverter board for lighting the fluorescent tube or a similar power supply circuit.However, it is possible to make the illuminance of a plurality of light sources uniform. Since this is the main purpose, it is easy and desirable to first transform the voltage input to the irradiation device and then input the transformed voltage to each of the inverter boards or similar power supply circuits.
- a further advantage of cold cathode tubes is that they can use a conversion adapter with a DC voltage of about 20 V or less because of their low power consumption.
- Adapters that convert AC to DC are sold overseas, and products with a wide range of AC input voltage (for example, 100 to 240 V) are widely used.
- the fluorescent tube is lit by a voltage-operated circuit board, it can be operated anywhere in the world using the same conversion adapter. Only the power cord must be used in each country depending on the shape of the plug, but it does not impose a significant burden.
- Irradiation devices that operate on AC input require a very large AC converter and must be prepared according to the input voltage of each country. Therefore, it is very useful to be able to realize an irradiation device that operates with a DC input voltage (in the ultraviolet range).
- the output of the cold cathode tube is smaller than that of the hot cathode tube.
- the size of the irradiation device itself cannot be reduced, and the distance between the sample and the light source can be reduced, so that the effective irradiation intensity on the sample is not so small.
- the output is supplemented by allowing the reflected light to also irradiate the sample by the light reflecting plate 49 installed on the lower case 48 of the irradiation device.
- the light reflecting plate 49 is mainly made of aluminum when the light source 46 is mainly composed of ultraviolet light. JP2005 / 009492. If necessary, it is formed so as to have a corrugated cross section according to the shape of the light source 46.
- a light collector 50 is provided between the light source 46 and the sample 47.
- a prism sheet used for a pack light of a liquid crystal display is adopted as the light collector 50. This principle and effect will be described later.
- FIG. 4 is another example of a cross-sectional view of the optical system of the present detection device. Note that the lower irradiation device is the same as that in FIG. 3, and a description thereof will be omitted.
- an observation window 52 is opened on the upper surface of the housing 51 of the upper case.
- a filter barrel 54 holding the observation photographing filter 53 is installed in the observation window 52.
- the filter barrel 54 is fixed to the housing 51 while holding the observation / photographing filter 53 at the lower part, and is formed so that the light shielding cover 57 can be attached at the upper part. .
- the filter barrel 54 and the light-shielding cover 57 have a screw structure so as to engage with each other, and can be easily attached and detached by rotating the light-shielding power par 57. These may be integrated. Further, a lens barrel 56 holding the observation lens 55 is also mounted on the outside (or inside) of the filter barrel 54 as shown in FIG. Thus, it has a screw structure.
- the basic concept is the same as in Fig. 3.
- the frequently used detachable observation lens 55 is located below the indispensable observation / photography filter 53, and its size is observed so that the field of view can be secured. It is larger than the shooting filter 53.
- the camera fixing device 58 is the same as that shown in FIG.
- the light source 61 is placed above the light source 61 (the side where the sample is placed). Place the light collector 62 on the light collector 62 and the lower part (the side where the sample is not placed). If necessary, the light reflector 64 is also arranged in the direction of the vertical plane (the plane perpendicular to the light source 61). The light reflecting plate 64 may have a function of supporting the light source 61 and / or the light collecting plate 62 in some cases.
- a prism sheet also called a diffraction grating film having a large number of fine prism structures on its surface is employed.
- the prism structure means a convex structure having a fine triangular cross section formed on the surface.
- the structure may have a polygonal cross section other than a triangle, and even if it is not formed on the surface, it is formed inside the light diffusion plate. Is also good.
- a light source is placed beside an illumination surface, and light is first guided to the illumination surface by a light guide plate and then diffused by a diffusion plate. At this stage, light rays are randomly distributed in the two-dimensional direction, and light is guided in a direction almost perpendicular to the illumination surface using a light collector called a prism sheet. Since no light can be collected, two prism sheets are used. This is sufficient for surface illumination of visible light, but two sheets are used because of its low transmittance for ultraviolet light, which is frequently used for sample illumination in the life science field. Then, sufficient strength cannot be obtained.
- the light source (fluorescent tube) is not arranged next to the illumination surface, but is arranged in parallel on the back side of the illumination surface, so that one direction (direction parallel to the fluorescent tube) can be set in advance.
- the light quantity distribution is made uniform.
- the amount of light can be made uniform with a single light collector 62 (prism sheet), so that a decrease in the light amount due to the light collector does not pose a problem.
- the strength is inherently high, so life science experiments can be performed without any problems.
- the emitted light is straight light 65 (light incident almost vertically on the light collector), oblique light 66 (light obliquely incident on the light collector), reflected light 67 (after being reflected by the light reflector) Light incident on the light collector).
- the straight light 65 is further focused by the prism effect of the light collector 62. Since the obliquely traveling light 66 is refracted by the light collector 62 in a direction close to the vertical direction, the effect is the same as that when a plurality of fluorescent tubes 61 are further arranged in the gaps.
- the reflected light 67 is also basically refracted in a direction close to vertical.
- the present detection device employs a simple optical system that does not use a light guide plate and uses only one light collecting plate, but it is possible to obtain sufficient and sufficient surface illumination for irradiating the sample.
- a simple optical system there is a method using a diffuser plate (with random irregularities on the surface) that has a random light scattering effect. In this method, the direction opposite to the sample (the direction returning to the light source side) is used. ) Scattering also occurs with high probability, so that the irradiation intensity is greatly reduced. If the method uses the light refraction effect, such as the prism effect, instead of light scattering, such return light hardly occurs, and thus sufficient irradiation intensity can be obtained.
- the effect is not random but physically controlled, it can function even if the distance between the light source and the light collector is short, and can significantly reduce the size of the irradiation unit.
- the random diffusion (scattering) effect if the distance between the light source and the diffuser is short, the distribution of the light irradiation intensity will not be sufficiently eliminated, resulting in non-uniformity.
- the light source 61 is mainly composed of ultraviolet light, it must be formed of an ultraviolet light transmitting material.
- the sheet itself can be formed to be extremely thin in principle, there is no restriction that the material must be extremely transparent to ultraviolet light, such as quartz glass, and acrylic, poly (methyl methacrylate), polycarbonate, Polymethylpentene, cycloeole A transparent resin such as fin is sufficient. It is not necessary to have the shape as shown in Fig. 5 as long as the light from the light source is hardly reflected and the light irradiation is made uniform (light collection) by the refraction effect.
- the prism structures may be distributed not in rows but in dots, and the prism structures may not be prism structures but may be formed by many fine lens structures.
- the light reflecting plate installed on the back side of the light source does not have to be a flat surface as shown in Fig. 5.
- the light source is an ideal linear light source, if a light reflector with a parabolic cross-section with the light source as the focal point is used, all light traveling from the light source toward the light reflector will be incident perpendicular to the irradiation surface. Will do.
- a fluorescent tube has a finite diameter in practice, the use of such a light reflector only increases the amount of light reflected back into the fluorescent tube.
- the light reflected by the light reflector is designed to pass through the gap between the fluorescent tubes by utilizing the effect of the light collector described above, even if the direction is random, the light is collected and the sample is collected. It can be expected that the component that is perpendicularly incident on will increase. For example, as shown in Fig. 6, there is a sharp cross-section just behind the fluorescent tube 71 (a position where the vertical line is lowered from the center coordinate of the fluorescent tube), and a local minimum value is obtained between the fluorescent tube and the fluorescent tube. When a light reflector 72 having a parabolic (or semicircular) cross section is installed, the amount of reflected light passing through the gap of the fluorescent tube increases. Naturally, even a light reflector having a cross section that is not a curve but a straight line (polyline) can be used as long as it has the effect of increasing the amount of transmitted light.
- the darkroom unit and the irradiation unit need not necessarily be integrated as shown in Fig. 1, but the irradiation unit is required. Depending on the situation, it may be used in the darkroom unit.
- a variety of fluorescent labels Due to reasons such as miniaturization, it is increasingly necessary to use light sources having different wavelength characteristics, and the convenience of such a miniaturized irradiation unit is increasing.
- Some commercially available irradiation devices can switch the wavelength of the light source with a switch. Specifically, light sources having different wavelengths are arranged alternately, and the fluorescent tubes that are turned on by the switches are switched and used.
- Fig. 7 shows an example of the wavelength switching method of the irradiation unit of the present detection device.
- the light source with the wavelength characteristic A is denoted by 81
- the light source with the wavelength characteristic B is denoted by 82, which are arranged alternately.
- the light source 81 of the wavelength characteristic A is turned on
- the light source 82 of the wavelength characteristic B is turned off.
- the amount of light directly above the light source is very small. Therefore, unless the distance between the light source group and the sample is made large, practical use cannot be tolerated. The strength decreases with distance, and the device itself becomes very large.
- the refracted light 84 can be sufficiently supplied also to the upper part of the light source 82.
- the problem of non-uniformity is solved. Since the distance between the light source group and the light collector 83 can be shortened in principle, sufficient light irradiation intensity is ensured. Since the details of the light collector 83 are as described above, the description is omitted here, but in this way, a very large effect is exhibited also in the wavelength switching method.
- a light collector such as a prism sheet and a light source filter (see Fig. Reference numeral 17) of 1 may be integrated.
- the uniformity of the light amount can be further improved.
- the light intensity is also large immediately above the fluorescent tube (from the center of the fluorescent tube to the direction perpendicular to the prism sheet surface) because the amount of light is originally large.
- To maximize the uniformity of light quantity for example, reduce the prism density just above the fluorescent tube, or sharpen the apex angle of each prism, etc. It is necessary to devise a way to lower it.
- a method may be adopted in which the light-collecting efficiency is changed for each part by bending the originally uniform prism sheet.
- the light emitted from the light source 91 is condensed by the prism sheet 92.
- the light is curved into a convex shape.
- the middle part of the fluorescent tube where the amount of light is small it is curved in a downward convex shape.
- the straight light 93 directly above the fluorescent tube is dispersed rather than condensed by the prism sheet.
- the obliquely traveling light '944 toward the upper part of the middle part of the fluorescent tube is collected with higher efficiency than when the prism sheet is arranged in a plane.
- the illumination intensity is maximized. In this case, it is important to consider reducing the light-collecting efficiency at a part where the amount of arriving light is relatively large and increasing the light-collecting efficiency at a part where the amount of arriving light is relatively small on the member used for light collection.
- any member can be used as long as it can condense by a plurality of concave structures, such as a micro aperture lens.
- the arrangement itself is not limited to that shown in FIG.
- the uneven surface on which the prisms and the like are formed is directed toward the light source and an arrangement that causes light diffusion rather than light collection is adopted, the same effect can be obtained by bending the light collection member. Can be.

- Reference numeral 103 denotes a safety switch, which is turned on by a switch actuating element 105 provided on the photographing processing cover 104.
- the lower irradiation device 101 can emit light when the safety switch 103 is on. In other words, when the imaging processing power 104 is released, the switch operating element 105 is separated from the safety switch 103, and the safety switch 103 is turned off. The light irradiation function is stopped regardless of the state of the switch 102. Since an ultraviolet light source is often used as the light source of the lower irradiation device 101, even if the photographing processing unit 104 is accidentally opened in the light irradiation state, the ultraviolet light is directly used by the user. A protective function is required to prevent the skin and eyes from being irradiated. When a magnet switch is used as the safety switch 103, the switch actuating element 105 is a magnet.
- a light irradiation state indicator 106 is installed near the operation switch 102, and the operation switch 102 is set to be turned on in the on state regardless of the light irradiation state.
- a circuit using a light emitting diode may be configured, or only a material that emits light by the light source of the lower irradiation device 101 may be provided.
- a safety function release switch 107 is prepared for the lower irradiation device 101. This switch is for short-circuiting the circuit of the safety switch 103, and if the safety function release switch 107 'is pressed, light irradiation will be performed even if the shooting processing power par 104 is opened. It works so as not to stop.
- a power-par side light irradiation status indicator 109 is installed at a position that is easy to see, such as the upper surface of the imaging processing power par 104. It is made of a material such as acrylic which emits light by ultraviolet light. Since there is a possibility that the imaging processing cover 104 may be used alone, the status of the ultraviolet light irradiation can also be grasped from the imaging processing power unit 104 independently of the function of the lower irradiation device 101. So that

- the fixing screws 1 1 and 4 can be slid left and right when viewed from the front, so that the camera can be fixed even if the position of the tripod fixing screw hole is different for each camera.
- the vertical position adjustment screw 1 15 and the front / rear position adjustment screw 1 16 allow the position to be adjusted up and down and front and back when viewed from the front, respectively, so that it can correspond to various camera shapes. .

- the camera adapter 1 12 is not a screw-fixed type but a plurality of plate members or rod-shaped members. In some cases, it may be tightened.
- FIG. 10 is an exploded view of the biological sample detection device of the present invention.
- Both side surfaces of the shooting processing power par 201 are open, and a light blocking curtain is attached here.
- the mounting method if it is a detachable method such as a velcro tape, it can be easily replaced or washed even if it is contaminated by chemicals or the like.
- the blackout curtain is a double structure of outer curtain 202 and inner curtain 203
- the sleeve 2 ⁇ '4 is sewn on the inner curtain 203.
- the surrounding parts 205 can be used with buttons, hooks, and magic tape ( It is formed by a registered trader, a magnet, etc. As described above, such a light-shielding screen does not necessarily need to be located on both sides of the photographing processing power par 201, and is provided in front of the screen.
- a curtain with two sleeves may be attached, and if contamination from a biological sample and accompanying chemicals poses a problem, gloves or equipment should be attached instead of the sleeves. In some cases, it is not necessary to take out the camera through the sleeves.'The light-shielding curtain is detachable, so it can be replaced or used as needed. If the height is 350 mm or more, the operation to reach from both sides is not performed. Such a method may be chosen because it is difficult to do so.
- Reference numeral 210 denotes a camera adapter base, and 211 denotes an adapter fixing screw, which corresponds to 110 and 111 in FIG.
- the digital camera adapter 2 13 can be easily attached to and detached from the camera adapter base 2 10 by turning the adapter fixing screw 2 1 1: If you do not have a camera, you can observe the inside from the top window 2 1 2 . It is desirable that the top window 2 1 2 removes direct light from the lower irradiator, and in particular, when using ultraviolet light as a light source, it must be formed of a material that removes ultraviolet light for safety. Should be. If the signal light from the biological sample is specified to some extent, the signal light is selectively transmitted. It is preferable that the filter is a band-pass filter that passes through the filter.
- the upper window 212 has only a characteristic of removing light directly from the lower irradiation device, and a filter having such signal light selectivity may be provided above or below it.
- the upper window 212 is formed of an ultraviolet removing material (for example, a transmittance of less than 1% for a wavelength of 380 nm or less).
- an orange film for example, a film having characteristics of a transmittance of 50% or more for a wavelength of 580 nm or more, such as # 21 manufactured by R0SC0
- a transmittance of less than 20% at a wavelength of 480 nm or less, a transmittance of 60% or more at a wavelength of 510 nm, and more preferably a wavelength of 580 nm or more Use a film whose transmittance is less than 40%. Such a film can achieve wavelength selectivity of light rays at a very low cost, and the drawback that ultraviolet rays are not transmitted can be eliminated by the upper window 212. Based on such an idea, the number of filters to be installed is not limited to two, and it is possible to combine three or more types as necessary.

- the housing of the lower irradiation device 301 is configured by combining an upper force par 3 O la supporting the light source filter 302 and a lower case 301 b containing the light source 303 and a circuit board. Is done.
- the light source 303 is an ultraviolet light source in many cases, and the biological sample detection device of the present invention is characterized by employing an ultraviolet cold cathode fluorescent tube.
- the advantages of using a cold cathode fluorescent tube are that the electrode structure is simple, compact and lightweight, that it consumes little power, and that it can be driven by a small power supply such as a DC conversion adapter (AC adapter).
- AC adapter DC conversion adapter
- the use of mercury is suppressed and the burden on the environment is small (preferably 5 mg or less per bottle), and the time change of illuminance is very small and stable. Since the diameter of the light emitting part of the cold cathode fluorescent tube can be set to about 312 ⁇ , the thickness of the lower irradiation device 301 can be suppressed to about 45 mm or less and the weight can be suppressed to about 2 kg or less.
- a typical ultraviolet irradiation device has a thickness of more than 100 and a weight of more than 5 kg, so that it can be significantly reduced in size and weight.
- a hot-cathode fluorescent tube having a light-emitting portion with a diameter of 3 to 12 mm may be used.
- simply reducing the thickness tends to make the light amount on the light source filter 302 uneven, and it is necessary to devise the shape and arrangement of the light reflecting plate 304 for uniformity. . This will be described later.

That some biological samples have no light transmission and cannot be detected without irradiation from above, and that a light source having characteristics different from those of the lower irradiation device 301 may be required.
- the reason that the upper illuminator 307 is installed is that it would be convenient if a white light could be installed at the top to perform internal checks and white illumination photography. When used for shooting, it is preferable to install two or more units as shown in Fig. 3 because the light amount becomes uniform.

- Lower processing power 3 3 0 2 3 3 0 3 and the front surface 3 304 are open, but a light-shielding curtain 330 5 is attached to the front surface 330.
- an opening portion 330 is also provided on the upper surface of the imaging processing power member 3302, and an observation window member 3307 is attached above or below the opening portion 330.

- a biological sample detection device which can be used while sitting on a desk and installed on a desk is realized.
- the problem of nonuniform light intensity remains if only miniaturization is realized, and the performance as experimental equipment cannot be said to be sufficient. Only when the biological sample is irradiated with detection light with sufficient uniformity and illuminance despite its miniaturization, a highly reliable device as an experimental device is completed.
- Fig. 13 shows the specific configuration for that purpose.
- FIG. 13A is a cross-sectional view of the lower irradiation device.
- a plurality of light sources 503 are arranged in the lower illuminating device 501. Since the light source 503 is usually a straight line, uniformity of the light amount is sufficiently ensured in the direction parallel to the light source row. The problem is the non-uniform light intensity in the direction perpendicular to the light source row (the horizontal direction in Fig. 13). If the reflection of light is not taken into consideration, the illuminance on the light source filter 502 just above the light source that is the shortest distance from the light source 503 is the largest, and the illuminance at the middle part of the light source that is the longest is the smallest. Become.
- the light source is simply arranged, and there is a large difference of about 50% between the maximum illuminance and the minimum illuminance, which cannot be used for quantitative experiments.
- the difference between the maximum illuminance and the minimum illuminance is reduced by devising the shape and arrangement of the light reflecting plate 504 as shown in FIG.
- the light source interval P is important. Since the light reflectors must be arranged at the same period in order to make the light quantity uniform, the width X of the light reflector is set to the same size as the light source interval P. However, since the amount of light tends to be insufficient at the end of the light source row, the light source interval may be partially reduced. Next, when a small light source is used as in the present invention, the light emitted from the light source should be reduced as much as possible in order to secure the amount of light. This means that it must be supplied to the sample installation side (light source filter side) with higher efficiency.
- the light reflecting plate must be made of an aluminum material with a purity of 99.5% or more and a surface coating (or no coating) that hardly reduces the UV reflectance (for example, ART106HB, Takano Light Metal Co., Ltd.). It is necessary to form with.
- the shape should be such that the reflected light is concentrated above the center between the light sources where the amount of light is insufficient (the sample side), and a structure that is convex toward the sample installation direction is formed on the bottom surface or above the center between the light sources.
- a light reflection plate is formed and installed. Since it is difficult to process a minute convex structure from a plate material, it is better to realize the convex structure by adjoining the bent shape as shown in Fig. 13 (b).
- the width Y of the rising portion Z of the light reflecting plate should be such that the tip of the rising portion Z protrudes above the center connection line of the light source (on the sample side). It is necessary to reflect the light beam traveling on the opposite side to the sample side. It is desirable that the light reflected at the rising portion Z of the light reflector be directed to the sample side near the center between the light sources as much as possible, so the rising angle A should be set in the range of 120 to 150 degrees, and especially the rising angle At the position where the part Z and the light source center connection line intersect, it is desirable to set the range of 130 to 140 degrees.
- the distance R from the center of the light source to the bottom surface of the light reflector is P / 2 X
- the distance F between the center of the light source and the filter for the light source is too large, the illuminance directly above the light source will be rather small and the difference will increase. It is preferable to set it to about F or 2D.
- the fact that it is preferable not to increase F also has the advantage of reducing the weight of the device. Light that travels in the direction directly opposite to the sample from the light source cannot be used for sample detection because it is absorbed or scattered by the light source itself even if it is reflected by the light reflection plate. Therefore, in order for such light to travel to the sample side, a light reflector having a small rising portion Z 'that is convex to the back of the light source is used as shown in Fig. 13 (c). It may be preferable in some cases.
- the fluorescent tubes are arranged at a high density, it is possible to improve the uniformity without using the above-mentioned reflector shape.
- the arrangement condition when the diameter of the fluorescent tube is D, the distance between the centers of the fluorescent tubes is 2D or less.
- this method requires a large number of fluorescent tubes, there is a problem in that power consumption and heat generation are increased.
- the system can be placed on a desk and used while sitting down, and the illuminance is comparable to that of large general-purpose products, and the amount of light greatly exceeds that It is possible to realize a biological sample detection device that has both high performance and uniformity.

- the light irradiation filter 602 is for removing unnecessary components among the wavelength components of the light source. When harmful ultraviolet light is used as the light source, a shape that does not irradiate the human body with light is required.
- the cold-cathode fluorescent tube has a diameter of 4 to 12 mm and a length of 8 to 20 cm.
- the white phosphor applied to the inside of a general cold-cathode fluorescent tube for a display is made of an ultraviolet phosphor (for example S r B 4 O 7: E u, B a S i 2 O 5: a is replaced by the P b).
- the size of the light irradiation filter 602 is less than 20 mm x 150 mm, and the dimensions of the housing 601 are less than 200 mm in width, less than 35 mm in depth, and less than 30 mm in thickness. Since it can be suppressed to a degree, it is convenient as a portable device such as putting it in a pocket of clothes. It is also important to be lightweight for carrying, and the housing 600 is preferably formed of a light metal such as resin or aluminum. In addition, for portable use, the drip portion 603 is made to be foldable, or the grip portion 603 is inserted so as to slide into the inside or the back of the housing 601. Is more convenient.

- a switch of a momentary type in which the switch 605 is turned on only while the switch is pressed, is more secure, so that it is necessary to select a switch according to the purpose.
- Reference numeral 606 denotes a state indicator that is turned on when light is applied, and is provided with a light emitting diode—a material such as a fluorescent acrylic that emits ultraviolet light.
- FIG. 31 shows an example of a cross section of the portable irradiation device.
- a lip 4002 is attached to the housing 4001. However, these may be integrated.
- the light irradiation filter 4003 is a filter that transmits ultraviolet light, and preferably filters out visible light. In other words, transmission in the region of wavelength 380 nm or less There is a wavelength at which the transmittance becomes maximum, and the transmittance for that wavelength should be 80% or more, and the transmittance should be 1% or less for a wavelength of 450 nm or more.
- a light source holding type reflection material 4005 is attached on the back side of the light source 4004. Specifically, the shape is as shown in a three-sided view shown in FIG. Figure
- FIG. 34 (a) is a diagram viewed from the direction of arrow a a shown in FIG. 34 (c), and FIG. 34 (b) is a diagram viewed from the direction of arrow a b in FIG. 34 (c).
- the end 4 0 5 3 parallel to the light source 5 be bent at an angle of about 30 to 60 degrees. In some cases, concentration is important. In this case, it is advisable to have a circular or parabolic cross section. In addition, both ends perpendicular to the light source are also bent, and notches are cut out at the ends of the bent parts.
- the shape of the notch may be a square with one side of 0 to 0.5 mm larger than the diameter of the fluorescent tube, or a shape in which the lower half of the square is a semicircle. Insert 0 5 6 and fix. In this state, the fluorescent tube escapes upward, but there is no problem if the space between the both ends 4005 perpendicular to the light source and the inner surface of the casing of the irradiation device is designed to be smaller than the radius of the fluorescent tube.
- a part of the light source 400 is sunk into the grip 4002 as shown in Fig. 31.
- the length of the light-emitting portion of the light source is longer than the length of the light irradiation filter 4003, so such a configuration is unavoidable in order to reduce the overall size.
- the switch 4006 is mounted on a surface perpendicular to the surface on which the light irradiation filter 4003 is installed.
- the switch type is also preferably a push button type, and if it is an illuminated type, the lighting state can be grasped and it is convenient.
- the electric power is supplied from the input terminal 407 to the inverter board 408 via the switch 406, and is converted into the voltage and waveform required for the fluorescent tube by the inverter board 408. And supplied to the light source 4004. If a charging function is provided, a charging battery is placed between the inlet and the switch.
- a DC conversion adapter (AC adapter) is connected to the inlet, but if the inverter board operates with AC input, a power cord is connected directly from the outlet.
- Figure 32 is a view from the front (light irradiation surface) of a type incorporating only one light source.
- the size of the light irradiation filter 4003 should be 15mm x 60mm or more and 40mm x 200mm or less for a single light source, but is not limited to this.
- the other components denoted by reference numerals are the same as those in FIG. 31 and will not be described.
- Fig. 33 is a view from the front (light irradiation surface) of a type incorporating two light sources. If the irradiation device uses multiple fluorescent tubes, the irradiation surface will be wide, so it can be held by hand or used stationary. It is also good to use a cold cathode tube as the fluorescent tube, but a hot cathode tube may be used if the overall size suggested here can be realized. As the main purpose of the present invention, it is important to devise an instrument for electrophoresis experiments, but as a sample gel for electrophoresis, the size of 110 mm x 60 mm is the most commonly used. ing.
- the size of the light irradiation filter 400 is set within the range of 50 mm x 100 mm force and 70 mm x 120 mm, it is possible to hold the irradiation device by hand and observe it. It is also possible to place a sample gel on 03 and use it for observation and photography.
- the fluorescent tube diameter is 6 ⁇ : about L2 dragon,
- the distance between the two tubes is 20 to 30 mm, but three or more fluorescent tubes may be arranged, but this is not a limitation.
- the end portion 4053 of the light source holding type reflector 401 parallel to the light source 405 contributes to supplement the light amount between the light sources by light reflection.
- the light source 4005 is inserted into the cutout of the end portion 4505 perpendicular to the light source 40055, and is fixed to the housing 4006 of the irradiation device.
- the fixing method is to fix with screws, but in order to arrange the impeller substrate on the back side of the light source and to keep the width of the irradiation device small, it is also possible to use the spacer 406 2 to attach. is there. Note that the housing 406 1 and the spacer 406 2 may be integrated.
- the main applications of cold cathode fluorescent tubes in general products are pack lights for liquid crystal displays and light sources for optical scanners. Therefore, if the ultraviolet cold cathode fluorescent tube employed in the present invention is used, an ultraviolet optical scanner can be realized. In this case, it is necessary not only to change the light source to ultraviolet light, but also to use an ultraviolet-transmitting and visible cut filter as a material for the installation surface to be scanned. When this is used as an experimental instrument, the same sample is used to illuminate the entire sample, so that uniformity of the amount of light is expected to improve quantification. However, it takes time from the start of lighting of the light source until the light quantity stabilizes.
- a method is used in which the illuminance sensor is provided on the sample installation side, or a method in which not only moving the light source in one direction but also making the light amount applied to the sample uniform by reciprocating the light source. If the light source is moved back and forth many times, the distribution of the total amount of light gradually becomes uniform. Since the sum of the light amounts itself also increases, it is convenient for the purpose of detecting weak signals. However, in this case, the signal processing amount is greatly increased in a normal line sensor. Therefore, a device capable of receiving a two-dimensional optical signal, such as a CMOS or a CCD image sensor, is fixed. It is better to choose a method of accumulating (integrating) the signal.

- a chip 702 is placed on a small Peltier element 701. It will be set up and processed. Considering the temperature treatment, it is desirable that the chip 72 is formed of a heat-resistant material. In the treatment of such a biological sample, the disposal method after the operation is also an issue. Usually, the bacteria are sterilized by high-temperature treatment using an autoclave and then discarded. Therefore, even in the chip processing as shown in FIG. 15 (a), a sterilization operation is required. However, if a Peltier device is used, it is preferable that the high-temperature treatment is also performed by the Peltier device. In addition, when freezing treatment is required in pretreatment of a biological sample, the use of a Peltier element is possible.
- the chip 70 there are formed parts such as a biological sample setting part, a freezing processing part, a separation and analysis part, a reaction part, a pressurizing part, and a mixing part, and a part for connecting these parts and transferring the sample.
- the chip is brought into contact with the Peltier device 701, and temperature control is performed using the Peltier device in accordance with the site where the sample is located. Can be easily performed on the chip.
- the temperature range required for Peltier devices is approximately -20 to 120 degrees, but the temperature range is limited if the purpose is specialized.
- Biological samples are usually affixed or filled with information labels 703, such as the date and time of collection, mixed reagents, and sample origin. From the viewpoint of information protection, it is very undesirable that the information label is written in a language or numerical value that can be read by anyone. In the case of inspection containers, etc., information labels are often written using bar codes.However, if the amount of information to be written is large, dot codes are used instead of par codes as shown in Fig. 7 (b). (Two-dimensional per code), color dots Code (a two-dimensional array of color elements)
- IC tags Devices such as IC tags will be used. However, this alone can be stolen by information decryptors (such as percode readers) or third parties with decryption algorithms. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to not only encode information but also encrypt (code conversion). This conversion is performed by a certain algorithm based on the password set by the user, and the code is converted as shown in Fig. 15 (b). The converted code is output by a printer or written by an electric or magnetic action, and is applied to a biological sample holder such as a chip. In the information decryption operation, first, the code is input to a decryption system (such as a decryptor or software). In the case of a visual code as shown in Fig.
- a decryption system such as a decryptor or software
- the code may be read by a barco-drider-camera.
- the password used for coding into the decryption system, information is restored from the code. If there is a concern that the password may be stolen on the way, the algorithms used for encryption and decryption may be determined by each system.
- the biological sample detection device of the present invention employs a configuration in which a flexible material is limited to a necessary portion and used, and a lens can be easily attached and detached according to an operation.
- This realizes a dark room unit that is robust and easy to operate.
- the light source unit a very compact, high-output and highly uniform illumination unit can be realized by using a combination of a cold-cathode tube and a condensing plate having a prism effect. By combining these darkroom units and irradiation units, life science research has diversified fluorescent labels. In this way, it is possible to very easily execute a high-precision experiment by properly using a light source.
- a cold cathode fluorescent tube which can be easily downsized, is used as a light source for detecting a biological sample, so that the entire device can be placed on a desk
