Abstract
A microscopic object detection system includes a collecting kit and a detection device. The collecting kit has a thin film for converting light into heat and is configured to be capable of holding a sample on the thin film. The detection device detects a plurality of microscopic objects in the sample by collecting the plurality of microscopic objects dispersed in the sample with the collecting kit. The detection device includes a laser module, an optical receiver, and a controller. The laser module emits a laser beam with which the collecting kit is irradiated. The optical receiver detects the laser beam from the sample held by the collecting kit and outputs a detection signal thereof. The controller calculates an amount of the plurality of microscopic objects collected in the sample based on a change of the detection signal over time.
