Claim:
A fuel cell comprising: an electrolyte membrane; an anode disposed on one surface of the electrolyte membrane; a cathode disposed on the other surface of the electrolyte membrane; a pair of separators that are opposed to each other, between which the electrolyte membrane, the anode and the cathode are sandwiched; and a plurality of intermediate bodies interposed between the pair of separators of a single fuel cell, wherein a first separator of the pair of separators and one of the plurality of intermediate bodies are sandwiched by a cell monitor, wherein a cell monitor mounting portion is formed by either: a portion of the one of the plurality of intermediate bodies extending further toward the cell monitor than another of the plurality of intermediate bodies, a portion of the first separator that extends further toward the cell monitor than a second separator of the pair of separators, or both a portion of the one of the plurality of intermediate bodies that extends further toward the cell monitor than the another of the plurality of intermediate bodies and a portion of the first separator that extends further toward the cell monitor than the second separator.
