    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the light measuring instrument which has a wide dynamic range and can take a high-precision measurement. SOLUTION: The light measuring instrument 10 is equipped with an HPD (hybrid photodetector) 28, a voltage switching part 34, and a correction part 36. The HPD 28 is equipped with a photoelectric surface 28a and an APD (avalanche photodiode) 28b and has two operation modes, i.e., an electron irradiation mode wherein the quantity of photoelectrons emitted by the photoelectric surface 28a is measured and a light transmission mode wherein the quantity of light transmitted through the photoelectronic surface 28a is measured. The voltage switching part 34 switches the operation mode of the HPD 28 according to the output signal of the HPD 28. The correction part 36 multiplies the output signal from the HPD 28 in the light transmission mode by a constant coefficient to correct the output signal.
