Abstract:
An optical measurement system for measuring an inside of a test object by illuminating light having a wavelength within a range from visual light to infrared light onto a plurality of incident positions on the test object and detecting the light passed through the inside of the test object at plurality of detection positions, which comprises a display unit which displays graphical elements respectively indicating the incident positions, the detection positions and measurement positions, each of the measurement positions being determined by a spatial arrangement of each of a pair of one of the incident positions and one of said detection positions,wherein positions of the graphical elements on a displayed image are indicative of a relative positional relationship among the incident positions, the detection positions and the measurement positions, and at least one of a color and a pattern of each of the graphical elements is changed according to a state of a detection signal or a change of the state.
