An ink drying method and device is provided for injection energy to overheated dry vapor in which saturated moisture vapor is heated and dried so as to miniaturize and cluster particles of the overheated dry vapor; apply impact energy to the clustered overheated dry vapor so as to further miniaturize the clustered particles of the overheated dry vapor and generate nano-size overheated dry vapor; and supply the nano-size overheated dry vapor in a supersaturated state into a chamber in which a substrate is placed to form an anoxic atmosphere within the chamber, infuse the nano-size overheated dry vapor into ink molecules and molecular boundaries in the anoxic atmosphere, and apply the energy of the nano-sized overheated dry vapor to the ink, so as to evaporate the moisture of the ink and degraded or reduced the organic solvent of the ink.

Ink drying method and ink drying device

The microtome of the present invention includes a base, a knife for cutting a sample, a knife holder fixed on the base and holding the knife, a carrier bar carrying the sample at the leading end thereof and vertically traveling with the trailing end as a fulcrum. A bar traveling mechanism supports and moves the carrier vertically. A transmission lever transmits force to feed the leading end of the carrier bar toward the knife. A support plate is mounted on the base and rotatably supports the transmission lever. A tension spring pulls the carrier bar toward the transmission lever. A lever moving mechanism is in contact with the transmission lever.

Microtome having vibration dampening and micro-feeding mechanism

A microtome particularly suitable for sectioning specimen to be observed on a transmission type electron microscope. Mounted on top of and located to one side of a machine base (2) are an X-Y axis stage and a tilting stage (4) which in turn supports thereon a cutter holder block (5) with a cutting knife (6). Located to the other side of the machine base (2) is a micro-feed mechanism (7) which supports thereon a specimen holder support arm (12) with specimen (14) and a Z-axis stage (11). The micro-feed mechanism (7) has first and second linear motor stages (8) and (9) to be displaced inversely in intersecting directions crossed each other with a predetermined intersection angle (28) across Y-axis. As the first and second linear motor stages (8) and (9) are displaced at the intersection angle (20) with each other, the specimen (14) is displaced over a small distance of nanometrically fine level in the direction of X-axis, thereby permitting to produce an ultra-thin specimen piece.
