| 20090180121 | METHOD OF PARTICLE DETECTION, APPARATUS THEREFOR, METHOD OF FORMING PARTICLE CONCENTRATION DIFFERENCE IN DISPERSION LIQUID, AND APPARATUS THEREFOR - A method of particle detection includes a shock wave generating step of irradiating a dispersion liquid having dispersed first particles having a first diameter and second particles having a second diameter larger than the first diameter, with a pulse laser, and generating a shock wave in the dispersion liquid, a migration speed difference imparting step of migrating and accelerating the first particles at a first acceleration speed, and the second particles at a second acceleration speed higher than the first acceleration speed, by the shock wave generated at the shock wave generating step, and a detecting step of detecting the first or second particles. | 07-16-2009 |
