Abstract
The windowsare configured so that the thickness of the upper and lower parts of the substrate formed therein with the channels becomes thinner in these parts than in other parts. An air space is defined in the vicinity of the one side wall of the channel within a part where the first outgoing windowis formed, so as to serve as a window, and the second outgoing windowhas a shape such as to be recessed inward from the one side wall of the planar plate, in comparison with the other part thereof. Further, the fluorescence transmission pathis also formed on opposite sides with air spaces. It is noted that a rod-like fiber or the like may be embedded in the planar plateon the outgoing side of the planar plateat the time of forming the separation channeland the like.
