Abstract
An attenuated total reflection probe has a prism and a supporter. The prism is made of an optical material which transmits light in far ultraviolet region, and has a contact plane to be in contact with a sample, and an incoming plane and an outgoing plane both not to be in contact with the sample. The supporter has an opening and is connected hermetically with the prism around the opening and eventually exposes the contact plane facing the opening. The contact plane, the incoming plane and the outgoing plane of the prism are formed such that light transmitting the incoming plane enters the contact plane at an incident angle larger than critical angle and that the light totally reflected by the contact plane goes out through the outgoing plane.
