摘要:
An apparatus for imaging and analyzing particle components in a sample liquid flow containing particle components such as blood and urine, or fine particles of organic high polymer in suspension or the like. A conventional particle imaging flow cytometer is combined with a light source such as a lamp with small coherence, and an image intensifier with gate function of high response, so that a clear particle image without a deflection or interference fringe is obtained. Thus, in the apparatus having the still imaging function, by using the image intensifier with a high speed gate function, even with a light source of a long luminous time such as a lamp, a clear still image of a particle flowing at high speed is obtained.

A flow imaging cytomer for imaging the dimensions and shapes of particle components in a flow of a specimen solution has a slender filament serving as a focusing reference provided in a flat imaging zone through which the specimen solution flows in order for the particle components to be imaged. By imaging the filament-shaped focusing reference and adjusting position in accordance with the sharpness of an image of the reference, the particle components in the specimen solution can be brought into sharp focus.
摘要:
An imaging flow cytometer is provided with a continuous-emission light source for continuously monitoring cells passing through the image capturing area of a video camera for cell-image capturing, and with an excitation light source for picking up a fluorescent image of a cell. When a line sensor monitoring cell passage through the cytometer senses such cell passage, the cell is irradiated with strobe light and then, after waiting for the cell to move a fixed distance, with the excitation light. Thus, a particle analyzer is provided in which an image by white light resulting from the strobe light and a fluorescent image resulting from the excitation light can be captured simultaneously by a single video camera in either upper and lower halves or right and left halves of one imaged frame.
