Fluorescent beads detecting method and fluorescent beads detecting apparatus

摘要

A method and a device for accurately detecting with fluorescence some arranged beads through utilization of fluorescent beads in a flow path because each diameter the beads is small in respect to an inner diameter of the flow path and the beads are not arranged in a linear manner. A fine elongated excitation light is radiated in a direction perpendicular to the flow path to the samples having a plurality of units with fluorescent members being applied to some relative large beads, this is relatively scanned in a direction toward the flow path so as to perform a well-separable and accurate detection of the beads without being influenced by the adjoining beads.
