Abstract

A particle measuring apparatus surrounds a sample with a sheath liquid to hydrodynamically converge and flow them, and optically measures a particle in the sample to obtain a signal data of the particle. The apparatus provides a monitoring section for comparing a pulse width of the signal data as obtained, with a predetermined standard value to obtain a comparison value and monitoring a flow rate of the sheath liquid based on the comparison value.
