    摘要: A flow cytometry apparatus for determining characteristics of cells or the like flowing in a liquid stream includes a nozzle for generating a liquid flow path for moving cells therethrough substantially one at a time. A light source, such as a laser, provides a beam of illumination. At least one prism is interposed in the path of the incident beam of illumination for expanding the beam in at least one direction and for directing the expanded beam toward the cells in the flow path. A lens is provided to focus the expanded beam on the moving cells. An appropriate sensor detects light with respect to each moving cell for associating that detected light with a characteristic of such cell.

    摘要: Apparatus to perform correlation spectroscopy utilizes a zero dispersion monochromator having entrance, intermediate and exit slits. A ruled grating is located in the beam path between entrance and exit slits and is operable to disperse a beam of radiation incident thereon both prior and subsequent to radiation passage through the intermediate slit. A first axis is parallel to the grating rulings, the entrance and exit slits symmetrically disposed at opposite sides of a plane bisecting and normal to a line extending between the entrance and exit slits, the plane also passing through the intermediate slit. That axis is located to have intersection with and to extend at an angle .PSI. relative to a normal to the plane that passes through said intersection thereby to substantially eliminate spectral overlap. Further, an array of sets of slits is provided adjacent the intermediate slit position of the monochromator, the sets of slits in the array being successively movable into the focal plane at the intermediate slit position.

    摘要: Coupling optics is located in the beam path between intermediate slits S.sub.2 and S.sub.3 of an additive dispersion, double-pass monochromator, for imaging S.sub.2 onto S.sub.3 and for re-imaging an aperture stop back on itself, the stop defined by dispersing means. The slits S.sub.2 and S.sub.3 along with entrance and exit slits S.sub.1 and S.sub.4 may have curvature defining a circle.

    摘要: Provided are automated methods for distinguishing and differentiating cells in a whole blood sample. In one of the methods, a whole blood sample is provided. One or more tests to be performed on the whole blood sample is selected. The tests to be performed on the whole blood sample are correlated. A volume of the whole blood sample is aspirated into an automated instrument system which automatically performs conventional hematology analysis and fluorescent cytometry analysis on the whole blood sample. A first aliquot of the whole blood sample is dispensed into at least one sample receiving vessel. The first aliquot of the whole blood sample is mixed with a fluorescent reagent. The first aliquot of the whole blood sample mixed with fluorescent reagent is diluted and transported through a flow transducer system. The flow transducer system detects multi-angle light scatter and fluorescence from the first aliquot of the whole blood sample mixed with fluorescent reagent and counts and differentiates platelets or platelet clumps or both in the sample. Detecting and differentiation data for the one or more tests performed on the whole blood sample are stored. Results of the one or more tests performed on the whole blood sample are reported in a quantitative manner if so requested. The instrument system automatically performs all method steps without physically separating cells from the whole blood sample or an aliquot of the sample and results of a conventional hematology analysis may be utilized in at least reporting of results of the fluorescent cytometry testing.

    摘要: A pseudo telecentric flow cytometric optical system for the simultaneous detection of several characteristics of particles suspended in a flowing medium. The system is made up of a flowcell through which the particles pass substantially one particle at a time, an optical system for directing light from a light source onto the flowing particles in the flowcell, a side angle optical collection system for receiving light from the flowing particles and for directing the light to one or more of a first set of detectors, and a forward angle collection system for receiving light from the flowing particles and for directing the light to one or more of a second set of detectors. The side angle optical collection system can include a condenser lens for directing light toward the first set of detectors with an exit pupil of the condenser lens located at the back focal plane of the condenser lens; a photosensitive surface of one or more of the first set of detectors is located at conjugate points of the back focal plane of the condenser lens such that an image of the exit pupil is positioned at the photosensitive surface of one or more of the first set of detectors. The forward angle optical collection system can include a collecting lens for directing light toward the second set of detectors where the collecting lens exit pupil is located in the back focal plane of the collecting lens and a photosensitive surface of one or more of the second set of detectors is located at the back focal plane of the collecting lens.

    摘要: A dual laser excitation apparatus comprises a first laser for providing a first beam of light with a plurality of energy lines. A filter or wavelength disperser is included for dividing the first beam of light into two portions. One of these portions of the light beam is spectrally separated and at least one separated line is directed to a first area of illumination. A second laser is positioned to receive the other portion of the divided light beam and is adapted to be energized thereby. The second laser produces a second beam of light directed to a second area of illumination. Such a dual laser excitation apparatus is well suited for flow cytometry purposes.
