Abstract
To enable the particle size distribution of a measurement target to be accurately measured regardless of the presence of a particle which is similar in shape to the measurement target and which is not the measurement target, a particle size distribution measuring device includes an image processing unit that receives image data obtained by capturing an image of a particle group including a first particle and a second particle of a type different from the first particle, at least the first particle being translucent; and a particle discriminating unit that discriminates whether a particle depicted in the image is the first particle or the second particle on the basis of light and dark regions that appear as a result of refraction of light passing through the particle.
