Abstract
The present disclosure provides improved optical systems for particle processing (e.g., cytometry including microfluidic based sorters, drop sorters, and/or cell purification) systems and methods. More particularly, the present disclosure provides advantageous micro-lens array optical detection assemblies for particle (e.g., cells, microscopic particles, etc.) processing systems and methods (e.g., for analyzing, sorting, processing, purifying, measuring, isolating, detecting, monitoring and/or enriching particles.
Claims1
A particle processing system comprising:
- a detection region including a micro-lens array, the micro-lens array including a first micro-lens system having a plurality of free-space optical elements disposed along a central axis, the plurality of free-space optical elements including a first micro-lens and a spectrally-selective optical element in a common housing;
- and
- a particle processing region having a microfluidic channel, the particle processing region configured to be removably and optically coupled to the detection region.
