An object of the present invention is to provide an object-capturing device which accurately detects objects such as microorganisms captured at a test site. The object-capturing device of the present invention includes a capturing dish holding a carrier, which captures objects (microorganisms), on a first side of the capturing dish. The capturing dish has a through hole extending from the first side to a second side of the capturing dish. The object-capturing device is used in a way such that, after the objects are captured with the carrier directed upward, the carrier is directed downward and reagents for detecting the objects are contacted with the objects captured on the carrier through the through hole.

A coated optical fiber capable of transmitting high-power light, which is an optical fiber having an outer surface coated with a coating material, is characterized in that the coating material is made of a transparent UV curable resin so as to prevent the coating material from absorbing light leaked outside from the optical fiber to generate heat. Further, a light transmitting method is characterized in that a fiber fuse propagation threshold which is a minimal light output required for fiber fuse propagation is obtained and a transmitted light output is controlled so that the transmitted light output becomes smaller than the fiber fuse propagation threshold.

Provided in the present specification is an optical connector boot including: an attachment portion attached to a connector ferrule, and a cable passing portion through which a flat type optical fiber cable is passed, in which there is provided at one longitudinal end of the cable passing portion an inlet for introducing the flat type optical fiber cable into the cable passing portion, in which there is provided in the attachment portion an outlet for drawing out the flat type optical fiber cable inserted into the cable passing portion, and in which the inlet and the outlet differ from each other in orientation so that the flat type optical fiber cable inserted into the cable passing portion through the inlet may be twisted around its axis within the cable passing portion by drawing it out of the outlet. According to an optical connector of the present invention, a flat type optical fiber cable inserted into and secured in a ferrule is covered with the optical connector boot.

An optical fiber connector includes a connector ferrule having an end face serving as a connection end face of the optical fiber connector, and an optical fiber fixed in the connector ferrule and protruding from the end face of the connector ferrule. A central portion of the optical fiber including a core thereof protrudes from a peripheral portion thereof. Thus, even in cases where the connection end face of an optical component to which the optical fiber connector is connected is uneven and a region thereof to which the optical fiber is connected is recessed, the core of the optical fiber can be connected to the region without fail since the core of the optical fiber protrudes from the peripheral portion of same.

An optical connector for making connection with a connecting partner side and releasing this connection is provided. The optical connector has an optical connector housing. The optical connector housing is formed by inserting a slider into a base end wall of an arm side member so as to be freely advanced and retreated. A cam following face is formed on an inner wall face of an arm portion of the arm side member. A claw portion is formed on a tip side of the arm portion. An opening angle driving cam member is connected to a tip side of the slider. A ferrule is arranged between the arm portions on a forward side of the opening angle driving cam member. When the slide is moved backward, the opening angle driving cam member is moved backward and is operated to angularly open the arm portion through the cam following face. This opening angle state is maintained by making the opening angle driving cam member abut on a stationary face of the cam following face. The claw portion is dislocated from an engaging position with the connecting partner side by the angular opening of the arm portion so that the connection of the optical connector is released.
