The image-pickup apparatus includes a controller that controls the energization of the actuator for driving the aperture stop. According to the present disclosure, a lamp cover is improved by further providing a bending structure to support and limit a movement of a liquid crystal display panel as well as to support a bezel, in substitution of main functions of a mold frame in the related art. The control unit controls an amount of projection of the injection needle according to the position relation detected by the detecting unit, and controls a puncture depth of the injection needle from the biological tissue surface. The first member and the second member are configured to move to a sample charging position and a sample injection position. A pipe fitting keeper is carried by the flexible link for releasably grasping a pipe fitting and suspending the pipe fitting adjacent the end of a pipe positioned within the U-shaped platform. The transceiver performs steps of simultaneously transferring transmitting data to a plurality of parallel data streams, and space time block encoding each data, followed by spreading the encoded data streams with a pre-designed space-path spreading code, and transmitting data with the transmit antennas through multiple paths.
