Abstract :
The design of an ultrafast laser scanner microscope has been completed and an experimental model has been constructed. The instrument is described and the considerations that led to our choice of scanning method and optical and electronic system design are discussed. The scanner incorporates numerous new technologic features, and promises to make high-resolution cell analysis practical at data rates comparable to those obtained now only in flow cytometry.
