Abstract

An analysis apparatus capable of normally creating image data and an analysis disc used for this. Instead of using a signal which has been read in time series by pickup following a track so as to create an image by utilizing address information engraved on an optical disc, a mark ( 110 ) is recorded over the radius direction (A) of a read area ( 109 ) of the analysis disc ( 108 ) where an analysis object (B) is arranged, at least at a preceding position or a following position of the read area ( 109 ) in the rotation direction (C), so that video processing aligned according to this mark is executed, thereby executing video acquisition or a shape count with a high accuracy.

Claims (5)

1. An analysis disc ( 108 ) for reproducing and tracing on a pit or a groove and has a data region for controlling rotation of the disc and a reading area having an analysis object therein, wherein a mark ( 110 ) is recorded over a radial direction of the reading area ( 109 ) disposed with the analysis object, at least in one of frontward and rearward positions of the reading area in a rotation direction.

2. The analysis disc according to claim 1 , wherein the mark ( 110 ) is formed as a pit ( 112 a ), a groove ( 112 a ), or a land ( 112 b ), or by printing ( 111 ), removing a mirror surface ( 118 ), or forming an odd shape ( 119 ).

3. The analysis disc according to claim 1 , wherein the mark ( 110 ) is formed as a pit ( 112 a ), a groove ( 112 a ), or a land ( 112 b ) with a specific pattern different from the data region.

4. The analysis disc according to claim 3 , wherein the specific pattern of the mark ( 110 ) is varied according to a plurality of reading areas ( 109 ) each being disposed with the analysis object.

5. The analysis disc according to claim 3 , wherein the specific pattern of the mark ( 110 ) is varied according to a kind of the analysis object disposed in the reading area ( 109 ).
