PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photoacoustic probe capable of reducing power consumption, improving operability by reducing an outer shape, and creating an accurate photoacoustic image by detecting an accurate photoacoustic wave even when an acoustic wave detection part is tilted.SOLUTION: A photoacoustic probe 10 has a light source part 13, and an acoustic wave detection part 14 for detecting an acoustic wave inside an analyte. The light source part 13 has: a housing 16; a light source body having a long shape formed by arraying light-emitting devices therein, and arranged inside the housing 16; and a mechanism 17 for tilting an optical axis of the light-emitting device synchronously with tilting of the acoustic wave detection part 14.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 |
