Abstract
A particle analyzing apparatus is provided with an irradiating optical system for applying a light beam to a particle to be examined flowing through a circulation portion in a flow cell, a photometering optical system for photometering the light from the particle to be examined irradiated by the irradiating optical system, and moving means for rendering a base bed on which the flow cell and the photometering optical system are placed movable relative to the irradiating optical system.
