Abstract
Light detection systems for simultaneously measuring scattered light (e.g., in a flow stream) from particles having diameters which differ by 100 nm or more are described. Light detection systems according to certain embodiments include a static optical adjustment component, a variable optical adjustment component and a photodetector. Systems and methods for measuring scattered light from a sample (e.g., in a flow stream) and kits having a static optical adjustment component, a variable optical adjustment component and a photodetector are also provided.
