PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe for quickly and accurately measuring the skin color and sebum amount of the skin.SOLUTION: In the skin property measuring probe including a measuring end face provided on the end part of the probe, a light transmitting body disposed to the measuring end face, a skin sensor provided with an RGB radiation source and an RGB light receiver, and a sebum amount sensor provided with a near infrared radiation source and a near infrared light receiver, the radiation light from the RGB radiation source and the near infrared radiation source and the reflected light pass through the same light transmitting body. Thus, the skin color and the sebum amount for the same part of the skin can be almost simultaneously measured by one operation by a single probe. Also, by forming the lower surface of the light transmitting body in a planar shape and disposing it so as to form the same plane with the measuring end face, the more accurate skin color is measured without being affected by the shape of the skin.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】皮膚の肌色及び皮脂量を迅速かつ正確に測定するためのプローブを提供する。【解決手段】プローブの端部に設けられた測定端面と、測定端面に配設された光透過体と、RGB放射源及びRGB光受光器を有する肌色センサと、近赤外放射源及び近赤外光受光器を有する皮脂量センサを備えた皮膚性状測定プローブにおいて、RGB放射源及び近赤外放射源からの放射光及びそれらの反射光が同じ光透過体を通過する構成とした。これにより、皮膚の同じ部位についての肌色と皮脂量を単一のプローブによる一回の操作でほぼ同時に測定可能である。また、光透過体の下面を平面状に形成して測定端面と同一平面をなすように配設したことにより、皮膚の形状の影響を受けることなく、より正確な肌色の測定が可能である。【選択図】図1
