ABSTRACT:
A microorganism detecting apparatus comprising a fluorescence microscope section which is furnished with a motor-driven stage for placing thereon a microorganism sample subjected to fluorescent staining, and a light source portion for projecting excitation light of predetermined wavelength on the sample; a detection section which detects and photoelectrically converts fluorescence of specified wavelength from the microorganism sample at a position posterior to the microscope section; a filter unit which limits the band of frequencies ascribable to noise in relation to an electric signal from the detection section; a signal processor which reads the output value of the band-limited signal from the detection section, and which processes the read output value; and an automatic inspection section which drives the stage so as to permit the microorganism sample to be scanned over its whole area, and which stores each signal detection part in the sample so as to permit a fluorescent substance at the part to be verified.
