PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe for quickly and accurately inspecting the oxygen concentration within an enclosed space, and a method for measuring oxygen concentration employing the probe.SOLUTION: A photoluminescent oxygen probe comprises a tack with a layer of a pressure-sensitive adhesive and an oxygen-sensitive photoluminescent element on the underside of the head. The probe is effective for sensing oxygen concentration within an enclosed space by puncturing the container defining the enclosed space with the probe's shank and adhering the underside of the probe's head to the container so as to sealingly surround the puncture, thereby placing the oxygen-sensitive photoluminescent dye on the underside of the probe's head into sensible communication with the enclosed space through the puncture hole. |
