Abstract:
1. A biological optical measurement probe to be used on a subject, comprising: a plurality of emitting optical fibers for irradiating the subject with respective lights; a plurality of detecting optical fibers for detecting respectively the lights emitted from the emitting optical fibers and passing through the subject; a plurality of single optical fiber holders, wherein each of the plurality of single optical fiber holdersholds one of the emitting optical fibers or the detecting optical fibers; a plurality of holding parts, wherein each of the plurality of holding parts includes at least three concatenated optical fiber holders, and wherein one of the emitting optical fibers or detecting optical fibers is fixed onto each of the at least three concatenated optical fiber holders; and connecting members, wherein each of the connect n members connects a pair of the concatenated optical fiber holders of the respective holding parts adjacent to each other, a pair of single optical fiber holders adjacent to each other or a air of a concatenated optical fiber holder and a smile optical fiber holder adjacent to each other, wherein the concatenated optical fiber holders of each of the holding parts are fixed at even distances along a straight line on each of the holding parts, wherein each of the connecting members is rotatable on a corresponding one of the single optical fiber holders or correcting one of the concatenated optical fiber holders, and wherein the holding parts form four sets of holding parts, the holding parts of each of the four sets being parallel to each other and extending towards a head top of the subject.
