The invention is a flow cytometer
system for algal cells which includes a
flow cell having an interrogation region,
a long wavelength illuminator for
illuminating algal cells entering the
interrogation region, and a short
wavelength illuminator for exciting
fluorescence within the algal cells. The
system also includes one or more
photodetectors for measuring the
fluorescence, and a data acquisition
system that detects the illuminated algal
cells in the interrogation region. The
data acquisition system controls the
illuminators to provide specific
conditions for stimulating the
fluorescence, and acquires data from the
one or more photodetectors to provide
information of the algal cells.
Dated: August 8, 2012.
