A standard calibration solution includes water, a non-alcoholic solvent that is mixed with water, and a steroid hormone, and a content of the non-alcoholic solvent is 10% by volume or more and 50% by volume or less. The standard calibration solution is used for quantitative measurement using a mass spectrometry device.

Standard calibration solution

A pressure-sensitive sensor, includes a hollow tubular member including an elastic insulating material; and n electrode wires (n being an integer of not less than 3) arranged away from one another and held inside the tubular member, wherein when an external pressure is applied to the tubular member, the tubular member elastically deforms such that at least two of the n electrode wires contact with each other, and wherein the n electrode wires extend linearly and parallel to a central axis of the tubular member.

Method of manufacturing a pressure-sensitive sensor

A lens barrel including: an imaging optical system; a tube configured to contain the imaging optical system; a holder configured to hold a lens included in the imaging optical system in the tube in such a way that the lens is movable along a direction of an optical axis of the imaging optical system; a sensor unit configured to output a cyclic detection signal whose peak value changes depending on a movement amount of the holder; a memory unit configured to store a relationship between peak values of the detection signal and a position of the holder in the direction of the optical axis in advance; and an arithmetic processor configured to calculate a position of the holder in the direction of the optical axis from a peak value of a detection signal detected by the sensor unit in movement of the holder based on the relationship stored in the memory unit.
