In production of an electrode for an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, a hydrated film is formed onto an aluminum electrode including a porous layer by immersing the aluminum electrode into a first hydration treatment liquid having a temperature of 80° C. or more in a first hydration treatment step (ST1) and thereafter the aluminum electrode is heated in an atmosphere having a temperature of 150° C. or more and 350° C. or less in a dehydration step (ST2). Subsequently, a hydrated film is formed onto the aluminum electrode by immersing the aluminum electrode into a second hydration treatment liquid having a temperature of 80° C. or more in a second hydration treatment step (ST3) and thereafter chemical formation of the aluminum electrode is performed at 400 V or more and further 600 V or more in a chemical formation step.

The present invention provides a synthetic resin microporous film which has excellent permeability of lithium ions, can constitute high performance power storage devices, and is less likely to cause a short circuit between a positive electrode and a negative electrode as well as rapid decrease in discharge capacity due to a dendrite even when used in high power applications. The synthetic resin microporous film of the present invention is a synthetic resin microporous film comprising a synthetic resin, the synthetic resin microporous film being stretched, the synthetic resin microporous film having, in a cross section along a thickness direction and a stretching direction of the synthetic resin microporous film: a plurality of support portions extending in the thickness direction of the synthetic resin microporous film; a plurality of fibrils formed between the support portions; and the support portions having the number of branch structures of 150 or less per 100 μm.sup.2; and the synthetic resin microporous film being configured such that micropore portions are formed in areas surrounded by the support portions and the fibrils.

A capacitor comprising a solid electrolytic capacitor element that contains a sintered porous anode body, a dielectric that overlies the anode body, and a solid electrolyte that overlies the dielectric. The capacitor further contains a barrier film that is formed by vapor deposition and that is positioned between the dielectric and the solid electrolyte or overlies the dielectric.

A camera mounting assembly includes a base member or plate for holding a camera and a side member or plate. In an exemplary embodiment, lower slots on the base plate or side slots on the side plate are gripped by a vertical support's quick-release mechanism to mount the camera in a landscape or portrait orientation, respectively, the camera being generally centered and evenly balanced over the support in either case. The side member is detachably fastened to the base member, which modular construction permits separately timed purchase of the base member and side member as allowed by the user's budget and further permits breakdown of the assembly for ease of transport. The side member may be generally L-shaped with a lower arm length less than the side arm length, which also facilitates transport. Other components may be detachably added such as a hand grip facilitating freehand shooting with the camera.
