SAMPLE MOVEMENT CONTROL UNIT, SAMPLE MOVEMENT PARAMETERS ACQUISITION METHOD, AND SAMPLE MOVEMENT CONTROL METHOD

摘要

[PROBLEMS] An apparatus and method capable of conveniently manipulating an object to be examined without requiring an expensive apparatus. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The apparatus comprises a pipet (4), a vibrating section (5), a control section (7), and a storage section (8). At least a part of the pipet (4) is placed in liquid (2). The vibrating section (5) vibrates the pipet (4). The control section (7) delivers a vibration signal to the vibrating section (5). The storage section (8) stores parameter for generating the vibration signal. The parameter include information for creating a first vibration wave which causes the liquid (2) to generate a wave for drawing an object (3) to be examined located within a specified distance from the forward end of the pipet (4), and includes information for creating a second vibration wave which generates a wave for rotating the object (3) thus drawn. The information for creating the first vibration wave and the information for creating the second vibration wave is information on amplitude and frequency of the vibration, for example.
