A sample analyzing apparatus includes a micro-aperture probe, which is provided with a light passage aperture having a diameter shorter than wavelengths of light, the light passage aperture being formed at a radiating end of the micro-aperture probe, and a light source, which produces light for sample analysis. An incidence optical system causes the light for sample analysis to enter into the micro-aperture probe from an entry end of the micro-aperture probe. A sample supporting member supports a sample at a position that is exposed to near field light radiated out of the radiating end of the micro-aperture probe. An image sensor receives light scattered by the sample and detects an intensity distribution pattern of the scattered light. A display device displays the detected intensity distribution pattern. |
