A method for producing compound semiconductor quantum particles from at least a metallic element selected from Groups IIA, IIB, IIIA, IVA, and VA of the Periodic Table and at least a non-oxygen reactant element selected from the group consisting of P, As, S, Se, and Te. Simulation pure raw data as information associated with a photon count and noise which are predicted to be detected by a plurality of X-ray detection elements when imaging is performed by using X-rays of the second dose is generated on the basis of the calculated noise and the raw data obtained by past imaging operation. The head unit has along a first direction a plurality of heads, in which a plurality of nozzles that eject a liquid onto a medium are lined up in the first direction, and the head unit forms a single raster line by ejecting the liquid while performing m number of movements relative to the medium in a second direction, which intersects the first direction. The two storage apparatuses that are set as replication destinations manage a copy of data stored in the storage apparatus that is set as the replication source. Locking bumps are formed at two sides of the inner edge of each tube clamping portion. A light source is configured to controllably produce a flash of activating light directed through the transparent vessel at the electrode causing a sensible photo-induce interfacial voltage indicative of the microbial organism and titer.
