Abstract
A sample liquid containing particles are caused to flow through a transparent flow cell. An image capturing device is used to capture different images for a single particle existing in an image capturing area of the flow cell. The image capturing device further preferably captures different images of the single particle from different directions. Further, the image capturing device can capture different images at different focal positions. The different images can include fluorescence images and chemiluminescence images.
