An object of the present invention is to make it possible to accurately grasp the state inside an object to be measured. According to the present invention there is provided a measuring apparatus comprising: quasi-electrostatic field generating means generating a quasi-electrostatic field of higher strength as compared with a radiated electric field and an induced electromagnetic field quasi-electrostatic field detecting means detecting a result of interaction between the quasi-electrostatic field generated by the quasi-electrostatic field generating means and applied to a human body, and an electric field corresponding to a potential change caused by a biological reaction inside the human body and extracting means extracting the potential change from the result of interaction.
