Abstract
A viable particle counting apparatusincludes devices. The deviceradiates a light with a predetermined wavelength toward a liquid containing a detection target. The devicereduces a Raman-scattered light emitted from the liquid out of lights emitted due to an interaction of the light radiated by the devicewith the target or the liquid and selects an autofluorescence light emitted from the target. The devicedetermines whether or not the target contained in the liquid is a viable particle, based on a light obtained after the Raman-scattered light is reduced by the device. The deviceradiates the light with a wavelength that causes the autofluorescence light and the Raman-scattered light to be different in peak wavelength.
