Abstract

See full text

In a microparticle measurement device, a sample is passed through each channel in a multi-flow channel, and a predetermined linear area is illuminated with light. Measurement light originating from a microparticle in the sample, such as scattered or fluorescent light, is shaped into a parallel beam by an objective lens and passes through a first and second transmission portions. The beams transmitted through these two portions are converged as first and second measurement beams onto the same straight line by a cylindrical lens. The intensity of the interference light formed by these beams is detected with a detector. Meanwhile, the light emitted from the light source and passing through the multi-flow channel without hitting the microparticle falls through the objective lens onto a non-reflection portion and does not travel toward the cylindrical lens. Accordingly, only the interference light formed by the measurement beams is allowed to fall onto the detector.
