A light emission section includes light generators which are operated on
the basis of drive signals from a controller so as to emit near infrared
interferable light beams having different specific wavelengths to a light
interference section. The light interference section includes a beam
splitter having a low-reflection region. The beam splitter allows a most
portion of the near infrared interferable light beams to propagate toward
an object to be examined, and reflects a portion of the near infrared
interferable light beams to a movable mirror. The beam splitter causes
interference between measurement light reflected by the object and
reference light reflected by the movable mirror, and the resultant
interference light propagates to a light detection section. The light
detection section receives the interference light and calculates
predetermined information regarding the object by making use of the
quantity distribution of the interference light. A display section
displays the calculated information.
