Abstract: A sample detector B includes a member 6 provided with an aperture 60, as well as a light receiving element 5 which receives two light beams directed from a pair of light sources 40, 41 to a detection area AR and having passed through the detection area and outputs a signal corresponding to the amount of light received, and a determination means 8 for determining whether or not a sample is properly supplied to the detection area AR based on the signal. Two light beams emitted from the paired light sources 40, 41 travel through paths defined by the aperture 60 to regions ARr, ARf of the detection area AR which are positionally deviated from each other. With this arrangement, whether or not a sample is properly supplied to the detection area AR is precisely determined without using an expensive component such as an optical lens.
