20120136584DETECTION APPARATUS AND DETECTION METHOD FOR DETECTING MICROORGANISMS - A light receiving element provides a current signal corresponding to an amount of received light scattered by suspended particles moving at a predetermined speed to a pulse width measurement circuit and a current-voltage conversion circuit via a filter circuit. A pulse width measured from the current signal is converted into a voltage value based on a predetermined relationship by a pulse width-voltage conversion circuit, and is provided to a voltage comparison circuit. The current-voltage conversion circuit converts a peak value of the current signal into a voltage value, and an amplifier circuit amplifies the signal at a predetermined amplification factor and provides the same to the voltage comparison circuit. The voltage comparison circuit uses the voltage value converted from the pulse width as a boundary value, and the suspended particles causing the scattered light are detected as microorganisms when the peak voltage value is smaller than the boundary value.05-31-2012
