Photothermal Detection System

A photothermal system for performing high throughput single particle detection, the system comprising: a first optical path for directing a probe laser beam (PB) and a heating laser beam (MHB) towards a target or sample area (62); and a second optical path for directing the probe laser beam from the sample to a detector for detecting phase changes (?F) induced in the probe beam (PB) by the photothermal effect due to local heating of the sample by the heating beam (MHB), wherein the first optical path includes one or more optical elements (60a, 60b) arranged to define a detection volume of more than 10 femtolitres.
