Abstract
The present disclosure is to provide a scanning unit that enables simple and highly accurate detection of a sample in a capillary. A scanning unit according to the present disclosure is a scanning unit that moves in the axial direction of a capillary and includes an optical system unit having an optical system and a restriction unit that restricts the capillary to a predetermined position. The optical system unit includes a first optical system having one or more optical elements that transmits incident-side light to a predetermined position along a first optical axis; and a second optical system having one or more optical elements transmitting output light along a second optical axes.
Claims20
A scanning unit that moves in the axial direction of a capillary,
- the scanning unit comprising:
- an optical system unit having an optical system;
- and
- a restriction unit being separated from the optical system unit and restricting the capillary in an appropriate position,
- the optical system unit comprising:
- a first optical system having one or more optical elements that transmits incident-side light along a first optical axis to the appropriate position;
- a second optical system having one or more optical elements that transmits output-side light emitted from the appropriate position along a second optical axis,
- the restriction unit comprising:
- a guide for restricting radial movement of the capillary with respect to the optical system unit;
- and
- a contact surface that contacts the optical system unit,
- the scanning unit, wherein the first optical system and the second optical system are arranged such that the angle formed by the first optical axis and the second optical axis is not 180 degrees.
