Claim 5:
6. A method of aligning a flow cell, the method comprising:
performing a coarse adjustment onto a position of the flow cell based on an image regarding a flow axis of a flow channel of the flow cell while continuously moving the flow cell at a first speed; and
after the performing of the coarse adjustment, performing a final adjustment onto the position of the flow cell to allow a first intensity of first light emitted from a light emitting object included in a liquid flowing in the flow channel to be maximum, while moving the flow cell at a second speed that is lower than the first speed; and
between the performing of the coarse adjustment and the performing of the final adjustment, performing a fine adjustment onto the position of the flow cell to allow a second intensity of second light emitted from the light emitting object to be maximum, while continuously moving the flow cell at a third speed that is lower than the first speed and that is higher than the second speed.
