PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe for measuring the skin color and sebum capacity of skin quickly and accurately.SOLUTION: In a probe for measuring skin properties which is equipped with a measurement end face prepared on the end part of the probe, a light transmission body arranged at a predetermined position on the measurement end face, a skin color sensor which has an RGB radiation source and an RGB light receiver, and a sebum capacity sensor which has a near-infrared radiation source and a near-infrared light receiver, the probe is configured such that radiation light from the RGB radiation source and the near-infrared radiation source and their reflected light pass through the same light transmission body. This allows one operation by a single probe to measure the skin color and sebum capacity of the same part of skin almost simultaneously. Also, by forming the lower surface of the light transmission body in a planar state and arranging it at a predetermined position so that it forms the same plane as the measurement end face, the more accurate skin color can be measured without being affected by the shape of skin.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,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
