Abstract
There is provided a way of enabling the discrimination or identification of the kind of a light-emitting particle corresponding to each pulse form signal in the scanning molecule counting method using the optical measurement by the confocal or multiphoton microscope. In the inventive technique, the position of a light detection region in a sample solution periodically along a predetermined route is moved in measuring the light intensity from the light detection region; and a signal of light from a light-emitting particle is detected individually. Then, an index value indicating a translational diffusional characteristic of one light-emitting particle in a plane perpendicular to the moving direction of the light detection region is determined based upon intensity values of signals of light of the same light-emitting particle for identifying a light-emitting particle.
