Claims17
A cytometric system for fluorescent radiation concentration and collection, comprising:
- a generally hemispheric internally reflective chamber;
- a capillary transport system intersecting the internally reflective chamber;
- a flow cell positioned in fluidic communication with the capillary transport system for storing and releasing a plurality particles through the capillary transport system;
- a particle interrogation position located in the chamber;
- an integration laser positioned to shine on the particle interrogation position;
- at least one input port formed in the internally reflective chamber;
- a non-imaging reflector output portion formed operationally connected to the generally hemispheric internally reflective chamber;
- and
- an output port formed in the non-imaging reflector output portion;
- wherein the flow cell may be actuated to supply a stream of particles to the particle interrogation position;
- and
- wherein each respective particle occupying the particle interrogation position is fluoresced by the laser to emit a fluorescent signal to the non-imaging reflector output port.
