ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to provide a predetermined site luminescence measuring method and a predetermined site luminescence measuring apparatus, which allow for determining whether, when the luminescence from the predetermined site in live samples is measured, a photoprotein is localized at the predetermined site in the same ones as the samples. An predetermined site luminescence measuring apparatus100in the present invention is comprised of: a the sample102into which a fused fusion gene is introduced, the fusion gene being obtained by fusing a fluorescence-related gene that expresses a fluorescence protein in addition to a targeting base sequence and a luminescence-related gene; a container103for storing the sample102, a stage104on which the container103is arranged; a luminescent image capturing unit106which captures a luminescent image of the sample102(the objective lens106ato the CCD camera106c, and the imaging lens106f); a fluorescent image capturing unit108which captures a fluorescent image of the sample102(the objective lens108ato shutter108f); and an the information communication terminal110.
