Flow Cytometry vs. Fluorescence Microscopy in Cell Analysis

Flow Cytometry (FC) determines multiple physical and biological characteristics of cells by detecting the intensity of the scattered or emitted light of a single cell in a linear flow state before laser irradiation. This technology can analyze cells rapidly at a rate of tens of thousands of cells per second. The types of samples can be various types of cells (such as peripheral blood, bone marrow, solid tissues, cells in suspension or adherent culture), microorganisms, synthetic microspheres, etc
