    摘要: An object of the invention is to acquire both positional information and surrounding environment information of an insert in a photoacoustic image generation apparatus and the insert.
    A puncture needle (15) is at least partially inserted into a subject. An optical fiber (153) guides light with a first wavelength and an optical fiber (154) guides light with a second wavelength. The light guided by the optical fiber (153) is emitted from a first light emitting portion (153a) and the light guided by the optical fiber (154) is emitted from a second light emitting portion (154a). A light absorption member (51) absorbs the light with the first wavelength emitted from the first light emitting portion (153a) to generate photoacoustic waves and transmits the light with the second wavelength emitted from the second light emitting portion (154a).
