The purpose of the present invention is to enable the analysis, separation, and incubation of cells in an alive state to be more easily conducted in a real-time manner, to enable the incubation to be conducted while removing unnecessary cells from the incubated cells to thereby heighten the purity, and to separate desired cells through analysis from the incubated cells to thereby heighten the purity, recovery, and viability of the desired cells. Cell images can be detected and analyzed and information on the location of desired cells can be obtained, by use of a cell-adhering light-controllable substrate which is characterized in that a photodissociable group including a coumarinylmethyl framework dissociates upon light irradiation to release a cell-adhering material and allow a cell-abhering material to remain. Furthermore, use of the substrate makes it possible to analyze and separate cells in an alive state on the basis of the location information thus obtained.

Disclosed are a radiometric temperature measuring method and a radiometric temperature measuring system (10). A thin film (2) is formed on a substrate (1). The polarized radiation luminance component emitted from the thin film (2) is measured in a range of angle ϑeic where the emissivity does not vary. From the result of the measurement of the polarized radiation luminance component, the temperature of the thin film (2) is calculated. The polarized radiation luminance component is a p-wave polarized radiation luminance component polarized by a polarizer (3), and the p-wave polarized radiation luminance component is measured by means of a radiometer (4). A pseudo-black body (5) is disposed in a position mirror-symmetrical with respect to the radiometer (4). The radiometer (4) is shielded against the background radiation. The temperature of the pseudo-black body (5) is measured, and the measured temperature is taken into consideration in the calculation of the temperature of the thin film (2).

Disclosed is a method for decomposing a carbon-containing compound, wherein a carbon-containing compound is decomposed by light irradiation. The carbon-containing compound is an organic compound, and light irradiation is performed while converting the carbon-containing compound into a subcritical fluid, a critical fluid or a supercritical fluid. This method enables to obtain a carbon microstructure such as a carbon nanoparticle at a temperature lower than those in conventional methods.

A method of asbestos removal which is effective in stripping off an asbestos coating layer while preventing asbestos fibers from flying off into the air; and a wetting agent for asbestos removal which is for use in the method. The wetting agent for asbestos removal comprises a composition comprising Gellan gum and water, preferably a water-swollen Gellan gum liquid obtained by swelling Gellan gum with water. The method comprises wetting an asbestos coating layer with the wetting agent for asbestos removal to the depth of the layer and then stripping off the asbestos coating layer. Thus, the asbestos coating layer can be easily stripped off while preventing asbestos fibers from flying off into the air.
