A biological property check device includes a plurality of probes (20)
each having a light emitting element (26) for applying light to a
biological tissue and a light reception element (28) for detecting the
reflected light. Each probe (20) is successively selected by a switch
circuit (60) under control of a control section (76) and connected to a
property calculation section (64). The property calculation section (64)
includes a phase shift circuit for changing the frequency according to
the phase difference between the input waveform to the light emitting
element (26) and the output waveform from the light reception element
(28). According to the frequency change, the property of the biological
tissue is calculated. The property calculated is displayed on a display
section (74) via a data collection section (70) and a display processing
section (72).
