Abstract

Selon la présente invention, une puce de mesure ayant un prisme formé d'une résine qui est un corps diélectrique, et ayant un film métallique disposé sur une surface du prisme, est préparée. Ensuite, une première valeur d'ébauche optique est mesurée. Ensuite, la fluorescence émise à partir d'une matière fluorescente est détectée pour mesurer une valeur de fluorescence. Une seconde valeur d'ébauche optique contenue dans la valeur de fluorescence est calculée sur la base de la première valeur d'ébauche optique. Enfin, la seconde valeur d'ébauche optique est soustraite de la valeur de fluorescence pour calculer une valeur de signal.
