The present invention relates to linear, straight through electron beam machines that incorporate a rotary coupling system to easily attach and manually or automatically rotate field defining members such as applicators and/or shields to the electron beam machines. The rotary coupling systems also incorporate functionality for using different kinds of optical signals to automatically provide illumination, reference mark projection, and/or distance detection. The optical signals generated downstream from heavy collimator components and are transmitted along the central axis of the field defining elements so that function and accuracy are maintained as the components rotate.

There still has been room for improvement in terms of highly accurate detection of information of an eye.

The present technology provides an eye information detection device including two or more non-visible light sources, a diffractive optical element, and a light reception system. The two or more non-visible light sources have different light emission wavelengths. The diffractive optical element is disposed on an optical path of non-visible light emitted from each of the two or more non-visible light sources and reflected by an eye. The light reception system receives the non-visible light reflected by the eye and passing through the diffractive optical element. According to the present technology, it is possible to make improvement regarding the highly accurate detection of the information of the eye.
