Abstract :
A flow-system instrument is described in which the light scattered by a biological cell is detected simultaneously at 32 angles in the forward direction as the cell passes through a focused laser beam at 10 m/s. Cluster analysis is applied to the scatter pattern data to enable discrimination among cell types.
