The present invention provides methods and devices for detecting, identifying, classifying, and characterizing particles in a fluid sample. An optical analyzer with a rotating and / or moving sample container that measures the concentration of fluorescent particles present at very low concentrations and characterizes the fluorescent particles based on size, shape, diffusion constant, and / or composition An optical analyzer to be evaluated is provided. A scanning optical analyzer using pattern recognition data analysis techniques and multi-channel detection is provided. [Selection] Figure 1 |
