There is provided a scanning molecule counting method using an optical measurement with a confocal microscope or a multiphoton microscope, enabling characterization of a light-emitting particle or identification of a light-emitting particle with emitted light intensity of a single light-emitting particle measured individually. In the inventive optical analysis technique, with reference to the ratio of the intensities of simultaneously generated signals of the lights of at least two light-emitting sites having mutually different emission wavelengths, possessed by a light-emitting particle contained in a sample solution, the intensities being measured with moving the position of the light detection region of an optical system by changing the optical path of the optical system, a single light-emitting particle corresponding to the signals is identified, and the kind, the size, etc. of the light-emitting particle is identified. |
