A particle counter for measuring the number of floating particles contained in a sample to determine the particle concentration therein includes: a memory section for storing a relational expression between the direct current level output from a photoelectric converter when no particles exist and the frequency of occurrence of false counts; and a subtraction section for determining the frequency of occurrence of the false counts corresponding to the direct current level output from the photoelectric converter at the time of commencement of measurement with reference to the relational expression stored in the memory section and subtracting a value based on the frequency of occurrence of the false counts from a discrete value after commencement of measurement.
