    摘要: [Object] Provided are a particle imaging apparatus and a particle imaging method capable of taking an image of an imaging target particle with a high quality while maintaining a processing speed of a measurement apparatus. [Solution] A particle imaging apparatus 10 includes: a flow path 100 which includes a first flow path section 110, and a second flow path section 120 and a third flow path section 130 that are connected downstream of the first flow path section 110, and which causes a measurement sample including particles to flow; a particle detection unit 20 that detects a particle that flows in the first flow path section 110; a particle sorting unit 30 capable of adjusting a flow direction of the particle flowing in the first flow path section 110 such that the flow direction is selected from among at least a direction toward the second flow path section 120 and a direction toward the third flow path section 130, based on a result of detection by the particle detection unit 20; and a particle imaging unit 50 that takes an image of a particle that flows in the second flow path section 120.

    摘要: A particle analyzer, comprising a source of a beam of pulsed optical energy; a detector comprising a number of spectral detection channels to detect optical signals resulting from interactions between the beam and particles in a sample (such as, e.g., fluorescence signals), and to convert the optical signals into respective electrical signals; optical paths from the source to the sample and from the sample to the detector; a flowcell connected with the optical paths and with a flow path for a suspension of particles; a signal processing module capable of: receiving the electrical signals from the detector; mathematically combining individual decay curves in the signals into a decay supercurve; allocating individual components of the supercurve to discrete bins of predetermined time constants; and quantifying the relative contribution of individual components to the supercurve; a particle sorting actuator; an actuator driver; and at least one particle collection receptacle.
