Microparticle measuring apparatus and microparticle measuring method

Abstract

To provide a technology of maintaining light detection accuracy at a high level irrespective of individual variations in flow rate of microparticles flowing through a flow channel. The present technology provides a microparticle measuring apparatus including: a plurality of light detection sections configured to detect, at different positions, optical information emitted from microparticles flowing through a flow channel; and a detection timing control section configured to control a detection timing of each light detection section, on the basis of a trigger signal detected at a first reference channel provided in a first light detection section, and an optical signal detected at a second reference channel provided in a second light detection section that detects optical information emitted from the microparticles, at a position different from a position of the first light detection section.
