Probe with a light-receiving optical fiber having an entrance face on the tip orthogonal to first optical axis a light-emitting optical fiber having an exit face on the tip that is orthogonal to a second optical axis and a lens with a positive refractive power that projects light exiting from the exit face onto the measurement site of a living tissue and focuses light radiated from the measurement site of the living tissue onto the entrance face. Lens has convex surface facing the entrance face and exit face, a flat surface formed on the side opposite the convex surface, and a third optical axis. Distance from center of convex surface to first optical axis of optical fiber is shorter than distance from center to second optical axis of optical fiber.
