Detailed Technology Description

Heretofore, a scintillation counter used for monitoring a radiation is utilized in the monitoring of the bioluminescence. This method utilizing the scintillation counter adopts a stacker system wherein plural 96-well plates for putting a biological sample into each well are vertically stacked on a plate-setting portion of the monitoring apparatus with an exclusive guide. According to this method, when plant-based biological samples requiring a light for their growing are monitored, plates including the sample and transparent plates including no sample are stacked alternately and a light is applied from their side faces. In the monitoring of the luminescence form the plant-based biological samples requiring a light for their growing, a light is irradiated from their side faces, whereby the light is irradiated to the plate to be tested from a space formed between the transparent plates.
