PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light measuring device, light measuring method, and to provide a light measuring program capable of improving the measuring sensitivity with respect to light from a sample. SOLUTION: A fluorescence measuring apparatus 1 for measuring light from the sample held in a well of a microplate 20 comprises an image acquiring section 40 for acquiring a two-dimensional photodetection image, and a data analysis device 50 for analyzing measuring data, including the photodetection image. The data analysis device 50 extracts an analysis region to be analyzed from the measurement region set, in response to the well on the photodetection image, by comparing two-dimensional light intensity distribution in the measurement region with a predetermined light intensity threshold, and performs analysis processings of the sample by using the data of the light intensity inside the analysis region as the analysis data.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly measure a fluorescence emitted from a sample or a light passing through the sample, by setting a guide member which guides a reagent to each well of a microplate and transmits the light. SOLUTION: A micropolate 4 is moved from an initial position to a position of a guide member 50 along a guide rail 2. A reagent is injected to each well of the microplate 4 through an opening part of the guide member 50 by a reagent dispenser 51. The microplate 4 is further moved along the guide rail 2 and arranged at a position of a guide member 19. When a leading end part 19a of the guide member 19 is illuminated by an exciting light, the exciting light passes through an opening part of the guide member 19 and is projected all at once to samples in the wells of the microplate 4. The light generated from each sample is input to a video camera 6, and a video signal is sent to an operation-processing unit 40 through an image-processing unit 35. An intensity of fluorescence or the like is thus calculated and measured in a short time.
