Abstract

Provided is an observation apparatus that observes tissues of an organism. The observation apparatus includes a generator that generates first data obtained by irradiating the tissues with a first infrared light with a first wavelength and second data obtained by irradiating the tissues with a second infrared light with a second wavelength being different from the first infrared light in an optical property value with respect to a water, and a comparison calculator that compares the first data with the second data to generate bodily fluid data that indicates a presence of a bodily fluid on a surface of the tissues.
