An optical assembly to be mounted on a microscope for measuring micro-structures is provided, which images a first object image (7) onto a second object image (8) lying above the optical assembly and in this way shifts the object image at a standardized interface for a camera (12), as well as the interface for the camera itself, upwards. The optical assembly permits a stroboscope lamp (6) to be coupled into the incident beam path of the microscope over a beam splitter (5) without requiring any s...

A particle analyzing apparatus includes a flow device having a light-transmissive flow cell for allowing subject particles in a sample liquid to flow in a separated state, a laser beam illuminator for illuminating a subject particle flowing in the flow cell with a laser beam and a coherence lowering device for lowering coherence of the laser beam. The particle analyzing apparatus further includes an image capturing device receiving light from the subject particle, for capturing an image of the s...

A particle analyzer includes a sheath flow cell for converting a particle containing sample into a sample flow, a first light source for illuminating the sample flow by a continuous light, a light detecting element for detecting a light emitted from a particle illuminated by the first light source and for converting the light into a particle signal indicative of a characteristic of the particle, a second light source for illuminating the sample flow by a momentary light, an imaging device for ca...

In the operation of a granulating or coating apparatus wherein a particulate material is processed in a granulation chamber into granules, the material may be photographed during the course of carrying out the granulation process by utilizing a photography probe wherein a bundle of optical fibers are utilized to project a source of stroboscopic illuminating light in the form of a generally flat beam through a portion of the granulating chamber and a photographic camera is focused within the proj...

An imaging flow cytometer includes a flow path such as a transparent tube for allowing subject particles to move in a separate fluidity, the subject particles being present in a sample liquid, a light source for applying light to the subject particles which flow through the transparent tube, a beam splitter for distributing to two optical paths image light obtained from each of the subject particles irradiated with the light, a capturing device which has a light receiving surface on which an ima...

An apparatus for generating images of layers of an object from perspective images recorded from different positions by an array of radiation sources. The apparatus comprises an illumination device, for transilluminating the perspective images, and an imaging matrix comprising imaging elements. An optical system axis extends perpendicularly through the center of the matrix. The matrix superimposes the perspective images on a light-sensitive detector surface. In the apparatus, an optical deflectio...

An apparatus and procedure for measuring and regulating the relative vertical displacement of helicopter blades from a rotational plane, comprising a stroboscopic illuminating means, intended to be directed across a reflective tape placed at the extremity of each blade, and a means for controlling the timing of the stroboscopic emissions, whereby the passage of a reflective tape, located at the extremity of each blade, through the line of sight of the lamp, permits a visualization of the relativ...

This invention relates generally to relative speed-indicating means and more particularly to a visual display system for enabling an abstract visual comparison of the relative speed of one moving vehicle with respect to another and further to means capable of presenting an abstract visual display to the operator of a moving vehicle of the required desirable vehicle speed, said latter presentation being dictated remotely from a fixed station situated externally of the moving vehicle or directly t...

Apparatus is disclosed for determining the speed of a moving object by conducting an image of the object through a lens to a mirror and exciting the mirror with variable frequency oscillations from a light source or a vibrating source, until the image on the mirror becomes substantially steady. The frequency of oscillations exciting the mirror are proportional to the speed of rotation of a wheel driving the moving object. The apparatus may be mounted in a handheld housing.

A microdiffusion cell for spectrophotometric analysis comprises an outer casing and an elongated rod reciprocable within the outer casing. The casing includes upper and lower axially aligned tubular portions and an intermediate radially enlarged chamber portion. The chamber portion provides a pair of fluid chambers, and the rod passes through one of the chambers. Sealing means on the rod engages the upper and lower tubular portions to hermetically seal the chambers, and means are provided for in...
