Abstract: The present invention relates to improvement in light-using efficiency in a confocal
microscope incorporating a confocal laser scanner which rotates a Nipkow disk (3) at high speed together
with microlenses. In an embodiment of the present invention, a beam splitter (4,12) is inserted and placed
between two integrated disks (2,3), in each of which a plurality of microlenses and minute openings are
arranged with the same pattern making an array respectively. This beam splitter must be of a plate
type. In addition, the axis of the incident light is tilted by a significant angle to the vertical incident
axis of the microlens. 
     This cancels the light axis shift generated by a plate beam splitter and enables the incident
light to the relevant microlens to be focused to the corresponding minute opening.

Abstract: An improved system and method for stirring suspended solids in a liquid media
to enhance sample growth and improve sample detection results. The system and method
employs a sample vessel holder which adapted to receive at least one sample vessel which
contains the solids and liquid media and a stirrer, such as a ferrous metal filled stirrer, and
maintain the sample vessel in a position such that the longitudinal axis of the sample vessel
extends at an angle substantially less than 90 degrees with respect to the horizontal, such as
within the range of about 15 degrees to about 25 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The
system and method further employs a magnet driver, adapted to move a magnet, such as a rare
earth magnet, proximate to an outer surface of the sample vessel to permit the magnet to
impose a magnetic influence on the stirrer to move the stirrer in the sample vessel.
Specifically, the magnet driver is adapted to move and, specifically, rotate the magnet such
that the magnetic influence moves the stirrer along a side wall of the sample vessel. The
magnet driver is further adapted to move the magnet away from said outer surface of the
sample vessel to allow gravity to move the stirrer toward the bottom of the sample vessel.
This technique therefore provides a more gentle and controlled stirring of the suspended
solution.
