Particle analyzer
First Claim
1. A particle analyzer comprising:
- a sheath flow cell for converting a particle containing sample into a sample flow;
a first light source for illuminating the sample flow by a continuous light;
a light detecting element for detecting a light emitted from a particle illuminated by the first light source and for converting the light into a particle signal indicative of a characteristic of the particle;
a second light source for illuminating the sample flow by a momentary light;
an imaging device for capturing an image of a particle illuminated by the second light source; and
an analyzing section for performing particle analysis by employing the particle signal and the image of the particle as analysis data for analyzing the particle; and
an inhibiting section for inhibiting the analyzing section from employing, as the analysis data, the particle signal obtained when the second light source illuminates the sample flow.
