Flow cytometry is used for cell sorting, counting and biomarker detection, and is used for the diagnosis of several disorders, including hematological malignancies.
Microscopes are used in multiple areas of the medical fields such as to identify pathogens, and examine tissue samples for aberrations, to name a few.
Since microscopes and flow cytometers are both expensive and bulky, taking them into the field isn’t
practical.
To sort this problem, a group of scientists from UCLA has developed an attachment to a regular cell phone that can turn it into a fluorescent microscope or fluorescent flow cytometer.
