Flow cytometer

Abstract

This flow cytometer includes flow cell containing a flowing stream of a number of particles which flow one at a time in a straight line based on hydrodynamic methods, a radiator for radiating a light on the particles flowing through the flow cell, a forward scattered light detector for detecting a light scattered in the same direction as the radiating light, a right angle signal light detector for detecting light radiated in a right angle with respect to the direction of the radiating light, whereby the right angle signal light detecting assembly is disposed on a mount, with one end of the mount being elastically supported on a supporting member and the other end being disposed on another supporting member by an adjustment mechanism, whereby adjusting the inclination of the light axis of the right angle signal light detecting assembly is made easier so that the light axis can always be perpendicular to the radiated light.
