1. A system comprising:
a light source for irradiating light to each of microparticles stained with a plurality of fluorescent dyes;
a plurality of detectors configured to detect a fluorescence generated from the each of microparticles in plural wavelength regions; and
a display configured to display thereon a visual representation,
wherein the visual representation, representing detected data in each one of the plural wavelength regions, has a plurality of colors, and a respective color at each fluorescence intensity in each wavelength region indicates a number of microparticles at said fluorescence intensity in said wavelength region,
wherein each detector corresponds to a wavelength region, and
wherein a number of the fluorescent dyes is equal or less than a number of the detectors.
