Abstract
A device for identifying the kind of each particle detected by a particle detecting device such as imaging flow cytometer from detection signals obtained by passing therethrough a specimen, such as blood, in which various kinds of particles (blood corpuscles) exist intermixedly. Distribution characteristics (mean value, distribution width, etc.) of specific physical values previously obtained on a known kind of reference particles are stored, the degree of similarity of the detected particle to the reference particles, that is, 'probability of correctness of judgement at the time of judging the detected particle as of the same kind of the reference particles' is calculated, in accordance with a predetermined, rule from the particle detection signals representing the same physical values and the stored distribution characteristics of the reference particles, and the probabilities calculated on the respective physical values are synthesized to judge whether or not the detected particle is of the same kind as the reference particles.
