Patent ID: 11906428
Assignee: HITACHI HIGH-TECH SCIENCE CORPORATION
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 3:
4. A spectrofluoro-measurement method using a spectrofluorophotometer comprising
a light source,
an excitation-side spectroscope that performs spectral dispersion from light of the light source and generates excitation light,
a fluorescence-side spectroscope that performs spectral dispersion of fluorescence emitted from a sample irradiated with the excitation light into monochromatic light,
a sample container installation portion for holding a sample container which receives a liquid sample and is formed of a transparent material,
a detector that detects fluorescence emitted from the liquid sample, and
an image capturing device that captures a sample image of the liquid sample emitting fluorescence,
the spectrofluoro-measurement method comprising:
causing excitation light to be directly incident in an excitation light incidence direction through a port provided in the excitation light incidence direction of the sample container installation portion;
causing excitation light that has been transmitted through the sample in a linear direction to be transmitted through a port provided on a surface facing the port in the excitation light incidence direction to outside;
causing the detector to detect fluorescence through a port provided in a fluorescence emission direction of the sample container installation portion; and
causing the image capturing device to capture the sample image via a port provided in another direction of the sample container installation portion.
