Abstract

The absorbance of samples in a number of wells on a microchamber array is efficiently read in a short period of time. The microchamber array is simultaneously irradiated with monochromatic light. Well-transmitted light is captured via a telecentric optical system (23) by an imaging camera (24) as an image, and the absorbance of the sample in each well is individually calculated.
