A measuring apparatus includes a confocal optical microscopy, an excitation light source unit that emits excitation light for generating fluorescence from a fluorescent material, and a light-receiving unit. The confocal optical microscope includes an excitation light input port for taking in excitation light from the excitation light source unit, and an output port for outputting fluorescence generated by the excitation light. The light-receiving unit includes an input portion for taking in signal light containing fluorescence from the confocal optical microscope. An input portion of the light-receiving unit is optically connected to the output port of the confocal optical microscope through an optical fiber.
