Apparatus for automatically analyzing cells in urine using flow cytometry includes means (1-12) forr detecting scattered light and fluroscent light from individual cells in a urine specimen by flow cytometry, means (6, 25, 27, 28) for obtaining data indicative of scattered-light intensity and data indicating the number of peaks of scattered light from fluroscent light, means (11, 21, 22,23) for obtaining data indicative of fluroscent-light intensity from fluorescent light intensity from the fluroscent light, means (24) for converting the scattered light into pulse signals, means for converting pulse width into cell-diameter data in accordance with known cell diameters, means (42) for storing actual-measurement data indicating the characteristics of each cell in memory beforehand as cell judgement values, and means (43, 45, 46) for classifying and enumerating various cells in the urine automatically by analyzing the data indicative of the detected cells in accordance with the cell judgement values. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> |
