Title: Minoru Hosomi: Innovator in Optical Technology
Introduction
Minoru Hosomi is a distinguished inventor based in Yokohama, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of optical technology, particularly through his innovative patent related to optical apparatuses.
Latest Patents
Minoru Hosomi holds a patent for an "Optical apparatus and focus correction method." This invention includes a detector for detecting detection light of illumination light reflected by a sample. The optical system illuminates the sample with the illumination light and guides the detection light reflected by the sample to the detector. Additionally, it features a displacement measurement unit that measures a displacement drift indicating the amount of drift in the position of an optical element included in the optical system. A storage unit is also included, which stores the correlation between the displacement drift and a focus drift. This focus drift indicates the amount of drift in the distance between the sample and the optical system when the detection light detected by the detector is brought into focus. Finally, a prediction unit predicts a focus drift from the measured displacement drift by using the correlation.
