Abstract:
A purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical measurement system or the like suitable for optical measurement of nucleic acids, proteins, etc.
In a first aspect of the present invention, an optical measurement system that provides optical sample measurement comprises: an optical cell having a sample-holding hollow portion; and a light source unit that emits broadband light containing first and second light to the optical cell. The optical cell includes: a first light guide where light passes through a first transparent portion that transmits the first light more readily than the second light and the hollow portion without passing through a second transparent portion that transmits the second light more readily than the first light; and a second light guide that differs from the first light guide, in which light passes through the second transparent portion and the hollow portion without passing through the first transparent portion.
