Abstract:
A particle counting apparatus is provided that includes: a droplet discharger configured to discharge a droplet containing at least one luminescent particle capable of emitting light upon receiving light; a light irradiator configured to irradiate the droplet discharged by the droplet discharger with light; at least one light receiver configured to receive light emitted by the at least one luminescent particle irradiated with the light emitted by the light irradiator; and circuitry configured to count luminescent particles contained in the droplet based on the light received by the at least one light receiver, the circuitry being configured to measure a presence or absence of the luminescent particles contained in the droplet; and to measure a number of the luminescent particles contained in the droplet.

Claim (Index 18):
The particle counting method of  claim 17 , further comprising:\n controlling, by the circuitry, the counting such that the number of the luminescent particles contained in the droplet is measured in the secondly measuring based on information from the firstly measuring that a luminescent particle is present in the droplet; and controlling, by the circuitry, the discharging, based on information from the secondly measuring on the number of the luminescent particles contained in the droplet, or based on information from the firstly measuring that a luminescent particle is absent in the droplet without using any information from the secondly measuring.
