Abstract
An analysis system includes an optical system that guides light from a particle flowing in a flow channel to an image sensor, in which the optical system includes an objective lens facing the flow channel, an additional objective lens that forms an image of light passing through the objective lens, and a mirror that reflects light from the additional objective lens toward the additional objective lens, light from the particle passing through a different position in the flow channel passes through the objective lens and the additional objective lens, and then is focused at a different image forming position, and the mirror has a plurality of reflective surfaces respectively positioned at different image forming positions.
