  • Patent number: 11467086
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a sample inspection apparatus includes a photodetection circuitry, an image sensor, processing circuitry, and an output interface. The photodetection circuitry has light incident on an optical waveguide in an inspection container and detects the light having propagated within the optical waveguide and coming out of the optical waveguide. The image sensor acquires an image signal for the optical waveguide, using scattered light originated from the light propagating within the optical waveguide. The processing circuitry acquires one or more inspection index values based on at least one of an output of the photodetection circuitry or an output of the image sensor. The output interface outputs a result of processing by the processing circuitry.
