ABSTRACT:
The architecture of air-coupled laser sources in a flow cytometer is provided. The flow cytometer includes a mounting plate with a first major surface and a second major surface. A cuvette is mounted on the first major surface and a fluid core stream flows through the cuvette essentially parallel to the major surfaces of the mounting plate. A first air-coupled laser source is mounted on the first major surface. The first air-coupled laser source generates a first laser beam. The flow cytometer also includes a first beam-shaping optic system corresponding to the first air-coupled laser source. The first beam-shaping optic system receives the first laser beam and focuses it at the center of the fluid core stream perpendicular to the fluid core stream.
