Abstract: A measuring device (9) of the present invention includes a detector control module (31) for obtaining, from a scanning mechanism including an excitation light source (4) for emitting excitation light and a detector (8) for receiving fluorescence generated from the measurement target upon irradiation with the excitation light, measurement data of the fluorescence, a position information obtaining module (32) for obtaining, from a driving mechanism for controlling relative positions of the scanning mechanism and the measurement target, information of a position where the measurement target is irradiated with the excitation light when the measurement data is obtained, and a fluorescence characteristic management module (33) for preparing fluorescence characteristic data including the measurement data and the position information.

Abstract: A detection device (1) includes a light receiving unit (13a) which receives fluorescence; a light receiving intensity calculation unit (32) which calculates light receiving intensity of fluorescence which is received by the light receiving unit (13a) while changing a relative position (L) between the light receiving unit (13a) and a test subject (100); and a specifying unit (33) which specifies an optimal position of the relative position (L) where the light receiving intensity which is calculated by the light receiving intensity calculation unit (32) becomes a maximum, and in which fluorescence is detected using the optimal position which is specified by the specifying unit (33).

Abstract: A measurement device (1) includes a probe (7) which irradiates a specific part or a specific location of a living body with excitation light and which receives fluorescence generated by irradiating the specific part or the specific location with excitation light.

Abstract: The present invention detects a fluorescent signal from AGEs at a blood vessel tissue of an individual to determine the condition of the tissue of the individual. This solves a problem that in measurement of AGEs used in diagnosis of diabetes, data indicative of fluorescent spectrum from AGEs at the skin of a forearm varies depending on where to measure on skin of even the same forearm, which results in variations in measurement values, leading to unreliable data and incorrect measurement result.

Abstract: Provided are a transmissive suction mechanism (1), a suction hole (5), provided in the suction mechanism (1), through which skin is pulled into the suction mechanism (1), and an exhaust hole (4), provided in the suction mechanism (1), through which air in the suction mechanism (1) is removed so as to reduce the pressure in the suction mechanism (1).
