Spectrophotometer

Abstract

A spectrophotometer includes: a light source configured to emit light in a wavelength band including an excitation wavelength which causes a photoreaction on a target substance in a sample, the light source emitting a known number of photons of the light having the excitation wavelength; an integrating sphere having a light entrance port through which light emitted from the light source enters and a light emission port provided at a position deviated from an optical axis of the light entering the light entrance port; a sample placement unit provided in the light entrance port; and a light intensity measurement unit configured to measure intensity of light having the excitation wavelength emitted from the light emission port.
