An Optoacoustic Laser Cytometer Prototype

Resumo

The optoacoustic effect leading to excitation of acoustic waves upon absorption of a variable light flux is considered. This effect is of interest from the viewpoint of practical application in biomedical measurements as a promising noninvasive method for diagnostics of biological objects. The results of experimental flow diagnostics based on laser excitation of an optoacoustic signal in liquid are presented. An algorithm of the flow cytometry procedure is developed.
