An Attenuated total reflection measuring apparatus capable of Raman spectral measurement has an infrared optical instrument and a Raman module. The infrared optical instrument is disposed on an ATR prism side of a sample, and is provided to irradiate the ATR prism with an infrared light, and collect the infrared light from the ATR prism. The Raman module is disposed on a side opposite to the ATR prism side relative to the sample, and has a guide tube that outputs an excitation light from an excitation light source to the sample, and a lens portion disposed inside thereof. An end of the guide tube is in a position to push the sample to the ATR prism. The Raman module has a lens position adjustment mechanism that moves the lens portion along an optical axis, and a spectroscope that detects a Raman scattering light collected by the lens portion.

Attenuated total reflection measuring apparatus capable of Raman spectral measurement

The present invention relates to improvement in accuracy of an automatic sample detection technique in spectrometry of a microspectroscope. A microspectroscopecomprises: a light sourcethat emits an excitation light to a sample; a condensing lensthat emits the excitation light to a predetermined position of the sampleand condenses a reflected light or a transmitted light from the sample; a spectrometerthat detects a condensed light; and an analysis control unitfor analyzing a signal from the spectrometer; the microspectroscopethat uses an observation image of the sampleto perform spectrometry, wherein

Microspectroscope having position correction function

A method of analyzing foreign matter in a sample includes:

Foreign matter analysis Method, storage medium storing foreign matter analysis program, and foreign matter analysis apparatus

Microspectroscope having automatic sample detection function

An image forming apparatus includes: a photosensitive member configured to be rotated; scanning means for scanning, by light corresponding to image data, the photosensitive member that is charged, thereby forming an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive member; and a contacting member in contact with the photosensitive member to form a nip portion. In a correction mode in which a shift of an image is corrected based on a detection result obtained by detecting, at the nip portion, an electrostatic latent image for correction formed on the photosensitive member by the scanning means, a width of the electrostatic latent image for correction is equal to or more than a width of the nip portion in a rotation direction of the photosensitive member.

Image forming apparatus that detects electrostatic latent image for correction

An image forming apparatus includes a control unit configured to form electrostatic latent images for correction on a photosensitive member; a voltage application unit configured to apply a voltage to a process unit; a current detection unit configured to detect a current to the voltage application unit via the process unit when the voltage is applied to the process unit; and a conversion unit configured to convert an output value detected by the current detection unit such that a variation range of the output value detected by the current detection unit at a formation period of the electrostatic latent image for correction becomes larger than a variation range of the output value detected by the current detection unit at a one-rotation period of the photosensitive member on which the electrostatic latent image is not formed.

Image forming apparatus which uses electrostatic latent image for color misregistration correction

An image forming apparatus includes a process unit arranged in the vicinity of the circumference of each photosensitive member and the process unit is configured to act on the photosensitive member in forming a toner image thereon. The image forming apparatus detects a time period since a laser beam emission unit emits a laser beam to the photosensitive member to form an electrostatic latent image for detection until the formed electrostatic latent image for detection or a toner image based on the electrostatic latent image for detection reaches the process unit, and performs color misregistration correction control based on the result of detection. In this case, a control unit at least decreases the light amount of a pre-exposure LED when the electrostatic latent image for detection passes through a position facing the pre-exposure LED.
