Abstract
A measuring apparatus includes a turntable and drive means. The turntable is used for supporting n measuring units at intervals of a predetermined angle with respect to a rotation axis thereof. The drive means is used for rotating the turntable intermittently at intervals of an angle equal to m times the predetermined angle (m is an integer). When the turntable is stopped, k kinds of processes are respectively performed on the measuring units situated at different positions on the turntable. The above-mentioned k is 2≦k≦n, and the above-mentioned m is either 1, a number that is neither the common divisor of 1 and n nor the common multiple, or a sum of 1 and the common multiple of n.
