Abstract:
An optical analysis apparatus, including: a sample delivery system from which a liquid sample may be delivered in operation; a flow cell defining a channel through which, in operation, the delivered liquid sample may flow at a controllable rate, the channel including an optical analysis region; an illumination source focused on a portion of the optical analysis region that, in operation, illuminates a single particle at a time in a stream of the sample wider than the single particle; a detector that, in operation, detects light resulting from the illumination of the sample and outputting a signal representative of the detected light; and an analysis system receiving the representative signal.

Claim (Index 3):
The optical analysis apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sample delivery system includes:\n a sheath fluid supply in which a sheath fluid may repose; and a sheath fluid pump that, in operation, delivers a sheath fluid to the flow cell into which the liquid sample may be immersed and buffered, the sheath pump being controllable to control the delivery rate of the sheath fluid.
