Abstract
A sample preparation method includes: irradiating a first region of a sample with light at a time t1; irradiating a second region different from the first region with the light at a time t2 after the time t1; and fixing the sample at a time t3 after the time t2. A sample preparing apparatus includes: a light radiating unit that irradiates a first region of a sample with light at time t1 and irradiates a second region different from the first region with the light at a time t2 after the time t1; and a fixing unit that fixes the sample at a time t3 after the time t2.
Claims9
A sample preparing apparatus comprising:
- a light radiating unit, including a lens, that irradiates a first region of a sample with light at a time t1 and irradiates a second region different from the first region with light at a time t2 after the time t1;
- a fixing unit, including a valve, that fixes the sample at a time t3 after the time t2;
- and
- a computer that automatically sets the first region and the second region in response to a first input by a user indicating a number of regions to be irradiated with light, and automatically sets the time t2 and the time t3 in response to a second input by the user indicating an irradiation interval of time.
A sample preparing apparatus comprising:
- a light radiating unit, including a lens, that performs:
- irradiating a first region of a sample and a second region different from the first region with light at a time t1;
- irradiating the first region with light at a time t2 after the time t1;
- and
- irradiating the second region with light at a time t3 after the time t2;
- and
- a fixing unit, including a valve, that fixes a composition of the sample at a time t4 after the time t3.
A sample preparing apparatus comprising:
- a light radiating unit, including a lens, that irradiates a first region of a sample and a second region different from the first region with light for mutually different lengths of time after simultaneously starting an irradiation of light;
- and
- a fixing unit, including a valve, that fixes a composition of the sample after the irradiation of light.
A sample preparing apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a controller configured to cause the display to display a setting screen that allows a setting of an order of performing:
- irradiating a first region of a sample with light;
- irradiating a second region different from the first region with light;
- and
- fixing a composition of the sample.
A sample preparing apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a controller configured to cause the display to display a setting screen that allows a setting of:
- a time at which a first region of a sample is irradiated with light;
- a time at which a second region different from the first region is irradiated with light;
- and
- a time at which a composition of the sample is fixed.
A sample preparing apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a controller configured to cause the display to display a setting screen that allows a setting of:
- a time t1 at which a first region of a sample is irradiated with light;
- a time t2 at which a second region different from the first region is irradiated with light after the time t1;
- and
- a time t3 at which a composition of the sample is fixed after the time t2.
