Abstract
A size reduction in an optical system that detects a fluorescent photon is achieved. A photon detection operation of a photon detection unit () is controlled on the basis of timing of an irradiation operation of an excitation light source (), and after excitation light emitted to a microfluidic channel () is switched off, a fluorescent photon generated by a target flowing in the microfluidic channel () is detected.
