Patent attributes
A method comprises an opposing step of arranging a light-shielding film 50 having a recessed surface 52 and a pinhole 54 formed within the recessed surface 52 such that an end face 54X of the pinhole 54 of the light-shielding film 50 on the recessed surface 52 side and a light exit surface 4B oppose each other, while the shortest distance A52 between the light-shielding film 50 and a medium-opposing surface S in a thickness direction of the light-shielding film 50 is shorter than the shortest distance A54 between the end face 54X of the pinhole 54 on the side opposite from a transparent substrate 58 and the light exit surface 4B; a light-emitting step of causing a light-emitting device 3 to emit emission light 3A; and a detecting step of detecting the light transmitted through the pinhole 54 after being emitted from the light exit surface 4B.
