Optical Filters for Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometry allows scientists to measure physical and chemical characteristics of a particular sample of cells. Typically a sample of cells is suspended in a solution which is then introduced into the flow cytometer. These cells subsequently are set to flow individually through the instrument and into the path of an incident laser.
