A transmitted light detection type measurement apparatus for measuring skin fluorescence, as an indicator of Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) which accumulate in the skin are indicative of disease. The apparatus performs light irradiation and light detection on a reference sample and a measurement target. The apparatus includes a first light source 711, a second light source712, a first optical detector 741 and a second optical detector 742, a light source switching controller, and an operator. The light sources emit light of different wavelengths, such that the second light source irradiates light of the same wavelength range as that of the wavelength of the fluorescence excited by the first light source. |
