Abstract

See full text

A highly reliable optical measuring instrument for multi-channel simultaneous measurement has an intensity of light emitted from a light source modulated at different frequencies and the light is applied to multiple positions of a test object. The light which is detected from the test object is converted into electric signals by a photodiode, and modulation signals are detected by a lock-in amplifier module. The signals are processed as information on the test object interior by a processing unit. Light is applied sequentially from a light source in a preparatory measurement step prior to final measuring, and the signal level of the detection light is measured for each light applied position. A control unit controls light intensity and detection signal level to ensure that the difference in detection light levels is kept within a specified range.
