Since you say you don't need to know how strongly they glow, or if there are two of them clumped together, you could get away
without image processing.

" I only have to detect one fluorophore. "

Will there be a low low chance of two touching or close to each other?

If so, the sensor route is good.  You might even be able to detect when two are in the field of view by relative intensities.  Is
the light from one particle varying a lot if it is against the far wall of the tube or near wall?  Are you wanting to do any
hardware or code development, or just "full manual" proof of concept?
