    摘要: A particle counter for chemical solution in this disclosure uses a flow cell through which a chemical solution including particles flows, a laser light, and a light-receiving element array. Scattered light from the particles passing through a detection region on an optical path of the laser light in the flow cell is condensed to the light-receiving element array. The laser light in the center of the detection region has an energy density of 3×108 mW/cm2 or more. Each of plural light-receiving elements (a) is larger in length and width than a spot diameter of the scattered light, and (b) receives the scattered light from a region with a size of 760 μm2 or less included in the detection region. The signal processing unit counts the particles passing through the detection region by use of a threshold corresponding to the smallest measurable particle size of 0.03 μm.

    摘要: A flow cell includes a body and a flow channel. The body is formed out of blocks made of an uniaxial crystal material and joined to one another. The flow channel is formed inside the body, so that the flow cell is configured to be used to measure particles passing through the flow channel based on reception of scattered light generated from the particles. A crystallographic c-axis in a predetermined part of the body is configured to being substantially perpendicular to both a receiving direction and a polarization direction of the scattered light.

    摘要: A particle counter includes a detector that receives, using a light receiving element, interference light between scattered light and reference light, generates a detection signal corresponding to the interference light, and amplifies the detection signal using an amplifier; a counting unit that performs counting of the particle, based on the detection signal in a measurement period for measuring particle; and an optical path length variable unit that causes the optical path length of at least one of a first optical path and a second optical path to be changed at a predetermined rate, wherein the predetermined rate is set based on a flow velocity of the fluid so as to slow a change in a phase difference between the scattered light and the reference light and to make the frequency of the detection signal lower by changing the optical path length.
