Abstract:
An object information acquiring apparatus is used, including: an optical transmission system for transmitting light from a light source; a photoacoustic probe including an irradiating end for irradiating an object with light and a receiver for receiving acoustic waves generated from the object that has been irradiated with light; a processor for acquiring information on the object based on the acoustic waves; a light quantity meter for measuring the quantity of light emitted from the irradiating end; a memory for storing a measurement value; and a presentation unit. The processor compares the measurement value with a reference value of light quantity or a history of measurement value stored in the memory, and provides a result regarding whether or not the measurement value is within a reference range to the presentation unit.

Claim (Index 16):
The object information acquiring apparatus according to  claim 14 , wherein\n the holder has a hold sensor for sensing whether or not the photoacoustic probe is held in the holder, wherein the controller sets light irradiating conditions to emit light from the irradiating end when the hold sensor has sensed that the photoacoustic probe is held in the holder.
