Biological aerosols are detected in real time by passing air, which may contain the aerosols, through a duct having a pair of photodetectors adjacent the duct for detecting fluorescence of the aerosols produced by ultraviolet laser beam illumination of the airflow. A pair of opposed mirrors, make the effective sample air volume large, by producing multiple ultra-violet beam illumination paths through adjacent portions of the duct for each single pulsed beam, in turn increasing the magnitude of the detected fluorescence signal.
