Abstract
An optical unit () includes a light-emitting portion () that irradiates an analysis target with light, light-receiving portions () that receive light that has been reflected or diffused by the analysis target, a mounting substrate () on which these portions are mounted, and a plate-shaped member () having optical transparency. The plate-shaped member () is arranged so as to cover the light-emitting portion () and the light-receiving portions () that are mounted on the mounting substrate (). Positions of the light-emitting portion (), the light-receiving portions (), and the plate-shaped member () are set such that, in the case where the analysis target is in contact with the plate-shaped member (), light emitted from the light-emitting portion () is incident on two or more of the light-receiving portions () after being reflected or diffused by the analysis target.
