Abstract
In this work, we developed a new method for high throughput imaging flow cytometry, using diffractive optics elements to generate linear laser spot array for illumination, and single-pixel detectors for detection. The illumination spots are arranged in a line at equal intervals and form a small angle with the direction of the cell movement. When the cell passes through the illumination area, the two-dimensional information of the cell's fluorescence and scattered intensity profile is encoded into signals detected by the PMTs. Fluorescence and scattering imaging were experimentally demonstrated for beads and cells traveling at a velocity of 4.7 m/s in a microfluidic chip, with a resolution of 1 μm and a maximum throughput of 5000cell/s.
