Biological information detecting probe, biological information measuring apparatus, fabrication method for biological information detecting probe, and method of measuring biological information

摘要

Provided are a biological information detecting probe and a biological information measuring apparatus that are easy to handle and can easily carry out highly accurate measurements by improving contact between a surface of a living body and a light sensor while minimizing damage to the body tissue, and a biological information measurement method for implementing the same. The invention also achieves a biological information measuring apparatus that can easily measure biological information concerning deep portions of a living body by improving contact between the surface of the living body and the light sensor, and a method for implementing the same. The biological information detecting probe comprises a raised portion 5 forming a recessed portion which is pressed against a living tissue in intimate contact relationship, a substrate 4, an exit end face 9 from which detection light exits through one part of the recessed portion, and a light receiving means 11 which is provided in another part of the recessed portion and into which the detection light is introduced, wherein with the raised portion 5 and substrate 4 held pressed against the living tissue, the detection light is passed through the living tissue and introduced into the receiving means 11.
