Abstract: A system and method of high-speed microscopy using a two-photon microscope with spectral resolution. The microscope is operable to provide two- to five-dimensional fluorescence images of samples, including two or three spatial dimensions, a spectral dimension (for fluorescence emission), and a temporal dimension (on a scale of less than approximately one second). Two-dimensional (spatial) images with a complete wavelength spectrum are generated from a single scan of a sample. The microscope may include one of a multi-beam point scanning microscope, a single beam line scanning microscope, and a multi-beam line scanning microscope. The line scans may be formed using one or more of curved mirrors and lenses. The multiple beams may be formed using one of a grating, an array of lenses, and a beam splitter.

Abstract: A drug inspection device and method for distinguishing tablets that have different amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients and are indistinguishable in appearance. The device focuses on a tablet packaging process for tablets containing different amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients, every row or every pocket, having housed therein a plurality of tablets, is used for conveyance. A beam having near-infrared light irradiates the tablets, a spectroscope receives reflected light, a near-infrared imaging unit captures a spectrum obtained through dispersion of the reflected light by the spectroscope and generates image data, and a control unit processes the image data and performs an operation for distinguishing the types of tablets. The control unit controls the near-infrared imaging unit to perform image capture at least once on the tablets included in the one row, to compute average spectrum data per tablet, and to distinguish the type of tablet based on the average spectrum data.
