'BACKGROUND: All fluorescence slide-based cytometry detections systems basically include the following components: (1) an excitation light source, (2) intermediate optics, and (3) a detection device consisting of a CCD camera or a PMT. The optical principles employed is slide-based systems are similar to those of confocal microscopes (CLSM). METHODS: The ... More

'BACKGROUND: All slide-based fluorescence cytometry detections systems basically include an excitation light source, intermediate optics, and a detection device (CCD or PMT). Occasionally, this equipment becomes unstable, generating unreliable and inferior data. METHODS: A number of tests have been devised to evaluate equipment performance and instability. The following four instability ... More
