<p>A light scattering measuring probe having the following construction. An incidence optical fiber (4) and a scattered light measuring optical fiber (6) for collecting and propagating a scattered light are inserted into a probe body, the optical fiber (4) is passed to the outside through a hole provided in the light scattering measuring probe (3), ferrules (66, 67) are respectively put over the tip ends of the optical fibers (4, 6), the tip ends of the respective ferrules (66, 67) are cut into a truncated conical shape with part or the whole of the tip end faces of the optical fibers (4, 6) kept uncut, and the ferrules (66, 67) are held on a support (70) or the like so that the tip end faces of the optical fibers (4, 6) face each other a specified distance apart and at a specified angle. An insufficient strength of the optical fibers' tip ends can be supplemented for protection by the ferrules (66, 67). In addition, the truncated-conical cuts can shrink the distance between the tip end faces of the optical fibers (4, 6).</p> |
