Abstract
In order to enable a device to be installed in a limited space on the periphery of a line and to keep a path for transportation of a sample from the line short, the present invention is configured so as to comprise a flow cell through which a sample including particles flows, a light source for radiating light to the particles in the flow cell, a photodetector for detecting secondary light from the particles, and a computation circuit for detecting an autocorrelation function from a light intensity signal outputted from the photodetector and analyzing the autocorrelation function or the particles included in the sample, an optical system unit including the flow cell and the light source, and a control unit including the photodetector and the computation circuit being separate from each other and connected via a light guiding member for guiding the secondary light to the photodetector.
