PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in that a reproducibility of measuring skin condition becomes worse by tilting and irradiating excitation light.SOLUTION: A measuring instrument has an irradiating part for irradiating excitation light guided from an excitation light source to a living body and a light receiving part for receiving fluorescence generated by irradiating the excitation light, and it has a first contact part where the irradiating part is held while it contacts to the living body, and a second contact part which contacts with the living body in the almost same flat surface as the contact surface where the first contact part contacts with the living body.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】励起光を傾けて照射することにより、皮膚状態の測定の再現性が悪くなる。【解決手段】励起光源から導光される励起光を生体に照射する照射部と、励起光の照射によって生じる蛍光を受光する受光部とを備える測定装置であって、照射部を保持するとともに生体に接触する第1接触部と、第1接触部が生体と接触する接触面とほぼ同一平面にて、生体と接触する第2接触部とを有している。【選択図】図1
