An analysis apparatus which analyses a state of a specimen and includes: a temperature adjustment unit which lowers a temperature of the specimen by cooling the specimen a light source which heats at least a part of the specimen cooled by the temperature adjustment unit, by illuminating the specimen with light a first temperature measurement unit which measures a temperature change of the specimen caused by the heating by the light source and an analysis unit which analyzes the state of the specimen based on the temperature change of the specimen. For example, the first temperature measurement unit has an ultrasonic probe which transmits an ultrasonic pulse to the specimen and receives a reflected wave that is the ultrasonic pulse reflected from the specimen, and measures the temperature of the specimen based on a signal of the reflected wave.
