One aspect is a reflective member, which has a laminated structure in which transparent quartz glass members are formed on an upper surface and a lower surface of an opaque siliceous sintered powder layer. The opaque siliceous sintered powder layer has a thickness of 0.1 mm or more and a thickness distribution of ±0.05 mm or less. When a load is applied to each of the transparent quartz glass members on an upper surface and a lower surface of the laminated structure in a direction parallel to the laminated structure, the reflective member is fractured at a load of 5 N or more per square centimeter. The laminated structure includes a semi-transparent portion having a width of 0.01 mm or less, which has an intermediate opacity between an opacity of the opaque siliceous sintered powder layer and an opacity of each of the transparent quartz glass members.

Reflective member and glass layered member production method

Provided is a control device that electrically controls a medical observation apparatus configured to capture an image of an observation target and includes a voice recognition section, a recognized-information processing section, a switch input reception section, and a control section. The voice recognition section recognizes a voice inputted from outside. Based on a result of recognition by the voice recognition section, the recognized-information processing section determines processing to be executed by the medical observation apparatus. The switch input reception section receives an input of an operation signal based on an operation performed on a switch. Upon detecting a first operation signal received by the switch input reception section or upon acquiring information regarding processing determined by the recognized-information processing section, the control section causes the voice recognition section to start voice recognition processing and causes the medical observation apparatus to execute the processing determined by the recognized-information processing section.

Control device and medical observation system

Provided is a heat reflective member, which is prevented from braking even in a high-temperature environment. It generates no dust in use, and can be washed with a chemical liquid. The heat reflective member has a laminated structure in which quartz glass layers are formed on an upper surface and a lower surface of a siliceous sintered powder layer. The heat reflective member includes: an impermeable layer which is formed at a portion of the siliceous sintered powder layer at an end portion of the heat reflective member, which has a thickness at least larger than half of a thickness of the siliceous sintered powder layer, and through which a gas or a liquid is prevented from penetrating; and a buffer layer which is formed between the impermeable layer and the siliceous sintered powder layer, and which changes in density from the impermeable layer toward the sintered powder layer.
