Claim:
1. A cytometric system for fluorescent radiation concentration and collection, comprising: a generally solid, optically transparent, at least partially spherical externally reflective chamber; a capillary transport system intersecting the externally reflective chamber; a flow cell positioned in fluidic communication with the capillary transport system for storing and releasing a plurality particles through the capillary transport system; a particle interrogation position defined positioned in the chamber; an integration laser positioned to shine on the particle interrogation position; at least one input port formed in the generally solid, optically transparent, at least partially spherical externally reflective chamber; a non-imaging reflector output portion formed operationally connected to the generally solid, optically transparent, at least partially spherical externally reflective chamber; and an output port formed in the non-imaging reflector output portion; wherein the flow cell may be actuated to supply a stream of particles to the particle interrogation position; and wherein each respective particle occupying the particle interrogation position is fluoresced by the laser to emit a fluorescent signal to the non-imaging reflector output port.
