“…However, focusing of the particles in the center of the channel is required to ensure that all the particles are in the focus of the narrow excitation beam. 60 The light-sheet can be formed with a collimator lens and a cylindrical lens in combination with an objective or the lightsheet forming lens that can be directly integrated in the microfluidic device. 61 Also, two lasers can be operated alternately to obtain two fluorescence channels simultaneously.…”
Within the last decades, conventional flow cytometry (FC) has evolved as a powerful measurement method in clinical diagnostics, biology, life sciences and healthcare.

“…As a proof of concept, we selected cancer cell classification based on images acquired on a standard 3D light-sheet fluorescence imaging system coupled with microfluidics. 22,23 This microscopy technique has gained remarkable interest in such applications [24][25][26] due to its ability to rapidly scan large 3D samples with reduced phototoxicity. 27 We use this system to study the effect of motion blur and of the variable number of image frames per sample.…”
Single-cell imaging and sorting are critical technologies in biology and clinical applications. The power of these technologies is increased when combined with microfluidics, fluorescence markers, and machine learning. However, this...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
