Provided is a medium evaluation method for evaluating the suitability of a medium in which cell aggregates are cultured in a suspended state, by which an evaluation of whether a medium is adequate for both the cell retention performance and the cell recovery efficiency, the medium evaluation method including dispersing a plurality of particles in a medium, measuring a sedimentation velocity by which the particles settle in the medium, and using the sedimentation velocity thus measured as an index value indicating the suitability of the medium; and also provided are a medium and a culture method.

Medium evaluation method, medium, and culture method

Provided are an imaging apparatus, an image display system, and an image display method that can observe a papillary structure and a capillary in a papillary process at the same time. The imaging apparatus includes: an illumination unit that irradiates a surface of a skin with illumination light; an imaging unit that captures transmitted light reflected from the inside of the skin; a light shielding unit that is brought into close contact with the surface of the skin, is used, and is provided so as to prevent light reflected from the surface of the skin from reaching the imaging unit; and a pressing unit having a distal end that presses the surface of the skin in order to curve an epidermis of the skin to be captured.

Imaging apparatus, image display system, and image display method

A polarizing plate includes: a polymer film; a polarizer; and a stress relaxation layer disposed between the polymer film and the polarizer, wherein a relationship of the following Expression (1) is satisfied, a thickness of the polymer film is equal to or greater than 10 &#x3bc;m, a distance(Ds) from the surface of the polarizing plate on the side of the polymer film to the interface between the polymer film and the stress relaxation layer is equal to or greater than 15 &#x3bc;m, a difference between the distance(Ds) and a thickness(C) of the polymer film is less than 15 &#x3bc;m, and a total thickness of the polymer film and the stress relaxation layer is equal to or less than 80 &#x3bc;m, 0.01&#x3c;B/A&#x3c;0.9 . . . (1), in Expression (1), A represents the elastic modulus of the polymer film, and B represents the elastic modulus of the stress relaxation layer.

Polarizing plate, image display apparatus, and liquid crystal display apparatus

A polarizing plate includes an outer protective film and a polarizer. The sum S of the product of the modulus of elasticity and the cube of the thickness in each layer is up to 150,000 Pa&#xb7;mm, and the value obtained by dividing the sum S by the Knoop hardness k of the outer protective film is 200 or more but up to 450. The polarizing plate is excellent in surface pencil hardness even when its thickness is reduced.
