A system (1) for collecting biological information on a dyed biological
particle (cell or chromosome) by irradiating light onto liquid containing
the dyed biological particles and for detecting information light
therefrom is provided according to the present invention. The system
includes a path-defining structure (2) of transparent material defining a
flow path (3) through which the liquid containing the dyed biological
particles runs, an irradiation apparatus (5) for irradiating light onto
the particles passing through the flow path (3), a first detecting
apparatus (21) for detecting first information light obtained from the
irradiated particle, and a second detecting apparatus (25) for detecting
second information light obtained from the irradiated particle. At least
one of the first and second detecting apparatuses (21, 25) includes one
or more fiber optics (26, 27), of which one ends (61, 62) are arranged
adjacent the flow path (3) so as to collect the information light.
