| 20120085933 | FLUORESCENCE DETECTION DEVICE AND FLUORESCENCE DETECTION METHOD - A fluorescence emitted by a measurement object at a measurement point is measured. When the fluorescence is measured, a measurement object is irradiated with laser light whose intensity is time-modulated by using a modulation signal at a predetermined frequency. Then, the fluorescence emitted by the measurement object is formed to a flux of the fluorescence having uniform distribution of light intensity, and a plurality of partial fluorescent signals are generated by receiving a plurality of divided portions of the flux of the fluorescence. At least some of the partial fluorescent signals are added altogether to generate a single fluorescent signal. Finally, a fluorescence relaxation time of the fluorescence emitted by the measurement object is calculated from the generated fluorescent signal by using the modulation signal. When fluorescence intensity of the fluorescence calculated from the fluorescent signal exceeds a predetermined threshold, the partial fluorescent signals to be added are limited in number. Thereby, an output power of the light-receiving unit can not be prevented from saturation. | 04-12-2012 |
