    摘要: The present invention implements an ion detector with which it is possible to avoid direct collisions of negative ions with a scintillator, prevent degradation of the scintillator, prolong life of the scintillator, reduce the need for maintenance, and perform highly sensitive detection of both positive and negative ions. With respect to a reference line 65 connecting a central point 63 of a positive ion CD 52 and a central point 64 of a counter electrode 54, a central point 66 of a negative ion CD 53 is provided in a region of a side opposite to a region of a side of a central point 67 of a scintillator 56. Positive ions entering from an ion entrance 62 receive a deflection force and collide with the positive ion CD 52 to generate secondary electrons. The generated secondary electrons collide with the scintillator 56 to generate light. The generated light passes through a light guide 59 and is detected by a photomultiplier tube 58. A negative potential barrier is generated along the reference line 65. Negative ions entering form the ion entrance 62 are attracted to and collide with the negative ion CD 53 to generate positive ions. The generated positive ions collide with the positive ion CD 52 to generate secondary electrons. The generated secondary electrons collide with the scintillator 56 and are detected by the photomultiplier tube 58.

    摘要: This invention is capable of improving performance of a biochemical analyzer and facilitating the maintenance. A light source includes: a first LED that emits ultraviolet light and a second LED that has a light emission spectrum different from that of the first LED, the first LED and the second LED being disposed in parallel; a reflection surface that is opposite to the first LED and reflects light of the first LED; and a dichroic surface that is opposite to the second LED, reflects light of the first LED, and allows light of the second LED to penetrate. When an optical member including the dichroic surface is made to be the dichroic prism, the reflection surface reflects light of the first LED to the second LED side, and by using light source of a configuration having a light shielding unit between a light emission surface of the second LED and a dichroic prism, entering of a light emitted from the plural LEDs as a one light beam (beam) to an optical system of latter stage of the biochemical analyzer is enabled.

    摘要: A charged particle beam apparatus using a light guide that improves light utilization efficiency includes a detector including a scintillator for emitting light when a charged particle is incident, a light receiving element, and a light guide for guiding the light from the scintillator to the light receiving element. The light guide includes: an incident surface that faces a light emitting surface of the scintillator and to which the light emitted by the scintillator is incident; an emitting surface that is configured to emit light; and a reflecting surface that is inclined with respect to the incident surface so that the light from the incident surface is reflected toward the emitting surface. The emitting surface is smaller than the incident surface. A slope surface is provided between the incident surface and the emitting surface, faces the reflecting surface, and is inclined with respect to the incident surface.
