    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for determining a photodetector gain correction factor for application to flow cytometer data. Methods according to certain embodiments include detecting light with a light detection system across a horizontal axis of a flow stream, generating data signals in a photodetector channel (e.g., an imaging photodetector channel) of the light detection system at a plurality of positions across the flow stream and calculating a detector gain correction factor for each position across the flow stream in response to the generated data signals. Methods also include applying a detector gain correction factor to data signals from a photodetector channel (e.g., non-imaging photodetector channels) to generate adjusted signal intensities. Systems (e.g., particle analyzers) having a light source and a light detection system that includes a photodetector (e.g., an imaging photodetector) for practicing the subject methods are also described. Non-transitory computer readable storage medium and integrated circuits (e.g., FPGAs) are also provided.

    摘要: In one aspect, the present teachings provide a system for performing cytometry that can be operated in three operational modes. In one operational mode, a fluorescence image of a sample is obtained by exciting one or more fluorophore(s) present in the sample by an excitation beam formed as a superposition of a top-hat-shaped beam with a plurality of beams that are radiofrequency shifted relative to one another. In another operational mode, a sample can be illuminated successively over a time interval by a laser beam at a plurality of excitation frequencies in a scanning fashion. The fluorescence emission from the sample can be detected and analyzed, e.g., to generate a fluorescence image of the sample. In yet another operational mode, the system can be operated to illuminate a plurality of locations of a sample concurrently by a single excitation frequency, which can be generated, e.g., by shifting the central frequency of a laser beam by a radiofrequency. For example, a horizontal extent of the sample can be illuminated by a laser beam at a single excitation frequency. The detected fluorescence radiation can be used to analyze the fluorescence content of the sample, e.g., a cell/particle.
