1. A noninvasive living body measuring apparatus comprising:
- a light source unit for irradiating a measurement region of a living body;
a light-receiving unit for detecting optical information from an irradiated measurement region;
a first holding unit for holding the light source unit and the light-receiving unit;
a second holding unit for holding the first holding unit; and
a mounting unit for mounting the second holding unit onto the living body;
wherein the light-receiving unit comprises an objective lens and an image capturing element for capturing an image of the measurement region, and the first holding unit is rotatable around an optical axis of the objective lens when the mounting unit mounts the second holding unit onto the living body.

10. A noninvasive living body measuring apparatus comprising:
-
a first light source unit for irradiating a blood vessel; a second light source unit for irradiating tissue of a living body; a first light-receiving unit for detecting optical information from the blood vessel irradiated by the first light source unit; a second light-receiving unit for detecting optical information from the tissue of the living body irradiated by the second light source unit; and an analyzing unit for analyzing a blood component flowing in a blood vessel based on optical information detected by irradiation with the first and second light source units; wherein the first light-receiving unit comprises an image capturing element for capturing an image of the blood vessel irradiated by the first light source unit, and the second light-receiving unit comprises a light-detecting element for detecting light received from the tissue of the living body irradiated by the second light source unit; wherein the first light source unit comprises first and second light sources for irradiating a blood vessel interposed therebetween, and the second light source unit comprises third and fourth light sources at mutually different distances from the light-detecting element; and wherein the image capturing element captures a first image of the blood vessel irradiated simultaneously by the first and the second light sources, a second image of the blood vessel irradiated by the first light source, and a third image of the blood vessel irradiated by the second light source, and wherein the light-detecting element detects light received from the tissue of the living body irradiated by the third light source, and light received from the tissue of the living body irradiated by the fourth light source. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A noninvasive living body measuring apparatus comprising:
-
a plurality of light sources for irradiating a measurement region of a living body; an image capturing optical system for detecting reflected light from an irradiated measurement region; and a position adjuster for adjusting a position of the light sources with respect to a blood vessel of the living body; wherein the plurality of light sources comprises four light sources arranged at respective corners of a rectangle, and wherein the position adjuster adjusts the position of the four light sources such that the blood vessel intersects two sides of the rectangle; and wherein the position adjuster comprises; a first holding unit for holding the light sources and the image capturing optical system; a second holding unit for holding the first holding unit; and a mounting unit for mounting the second holding unit onto the living body; wherein the first holding unit is rotatable around an optical axis of an objective lens of the image capturing optical system when the mounting unit mounts the second holding unit onto the living body. - View Dependent Claims (15)
