Biophotometer
First Claim
1. An optical measurement device of biological tissue for measuring a substance of metabolism within a subject to be measured by using a probe comprising:
- a device for light irradiation for irradiating the subject with light via an optical wave-guide; and
a device for collection of light for collecting light irradiated from the device for light irradiation and propagated through an inside of the subject via the optical wave-guide, said probe having a plurality of optical wave-guides for said device for light irradiation and for said device for collection of light and having a portion for contact with said subject being composed of at least one member with a surface structure.

Abstract
The present invention provides an optical measurement device of biological tissue having a probe attachable to a moving part of a living body with a high curvature in biophotometry. A member having a high flexibility and a high friction coefficient is disposed on a surface for contact with the living body. In addition, a device for light irradiation and a device for collection of light are fixed with an elastic material for uniform pressure application. The resulting double structure or double layer has solved a problem.
