ABSTRACT:
There is provided a microchemical system which dispenses with the optical axis alignment and positioning of the focal point of the detecting light and that of the exciting light, and is capable of carrying out measurement with high sensitivity. The microchemical system includes a channel-formed plate-shaped member containing a sample, an exciting light source that irradiates exciting light onto the sample via a converging lens, a detecting light source that irradiates detecting light onto a thermal lens formed within the sample by the irradiated exciting light, via the converging lens, and detecting means for detecting the irradiated detecting light via the formed thermal lens. The exciting light source and the detecting light source are connected to the converging lens via an optical fiber for propagating the exciting light and the detecting light to the converging lens. The converging lens is fixed to the channel-formed plate-shaped member, and the optical fiber has a joint part capable of disconnecting the exciting light source and the detecting light source from the converging lens.
