    摘要: Providing a method of estimating the number of microparticles such as microorganisms in a sample, performing complicated operations. The method comprises counting by constant flow the number of target microorganisms contained in the sample at a predetermined flow rate, sectioning measurement data obtained as a result of the constant flow counting into a predetermined number of sections by a predetermined unit time for a section, counting the number of sections in which microorganisms are detected and the number of sections in which they are not detected, in the predetermined number of sections; and estimating the number of microorganisms in the sample, by a statistical method from the flow rate of the sample in the constant flow counting step, the predetermined number of sections and the predetermined unit time in the sectioning step, and the number of sections in which microorganisms are detected in the counting step.

    摘要: An observation method of a sample containing a target substance, the observation method including an imaging step in which a step of obtaining a speckle image including, as a speckle, light emitted from a luminescent substance in which a medium is brought into contact with the sample is performed a plurality of times so as to obtain a plurality of speckle images, the medium containing a probe that contains the luminescent substance emitting light and that repeatedly binds to and dissociates from the target substance directly and specifically, and an observation image generation step of generating an observation image of the target substance in the sample from the plurality of speckle images, wherein a half-life of a probe-target complex formed by binding between the probe and the target substance is equal to or more than 10 milliseconds and equal to or less than 3 seconds.
