Abstract
A fluorescence detecting apparatus which allows highly precise measurement of fluorescence even with minute sample amounts, which has a strong responsiveness to temperature variations, which allows simultaneous measurement of a plurality of samples, and wherein the light source and the container holder, and the container holder and the fluorescence detector, are each optically connected by optical fibers; and the optical fibers are connected to the container holder in such a manner that the sample in the container is excited for fluorescence from below the sample container held by the container holder, and that they may receive the fluorescent light which is emitted by the sample from below the sample container.
