Processing method of polymer crystal, processing system of polymer crystal, and observation system of polymer crystal

摘要

The ultraviolet short-pulse laser light emitted from the ultraviolet short-pulse laser light source 1 is focused on and caused to irradiate a macromolecular crystal 8 contained in a sample container 6 via a shutter 2 , intensity adjusting element 3 , irradiation position control mechanism 4 , and focusing optical system 5 . The sample container 6 is carried on a stage 7 , and can be moved in three dimensions along the directions of the x, y and z axes in an x-y-z orthogonal coordinate system with the direction of the optical axis being taken as the z axis; furthermore, the sample container 6 can be rotated about the z axis. Working of the macromolecular crystal is performed by means of ultraviolet short-pulse laser light that is focused on and caused to irradiate the surface of the macromolecular crystal 8 . In this way, various types of working can be securely performed on macromolecular crystals with little damage and by means of a simple operation.
