Claim 17:
18. The system of claim 17, wherein the controller is further configured to detect each cellular event of the set of cellular events in its corresponding capillary by detecting, in the one or more images of the set of images corresponding to that capillary, an optical absorption gap during passage of the one or more types of WBCs in that capillary,
and wherein the controller is further configured to filter each detected cellular event to retain, in the set of cellular events, that cellular event when one or more of the following is true:
that cellular event has a size within a predetermined range of cellular event sizes;
that cellular event has a relative absorption below a predetermined threshold;
a temporal intensity profile associated with the detection of that cellular event exhibits a dip below an averaged intensity value for that temporal intensity profile at a time point that is subsequent to detection of that cellular event; and
that cellular event is detected as moving in a predetermined direction in its corresponding capillary.
