Experimental flow cytometer for microparticle characterization. (a) Optical microscope image of the fabricated device. (b) Optical microscope image of the inlet reservoir and part of the microfluidic channel. The border of the top PDMS layer can also be observed. (c) Complete microfluidic system. The position of the optical system (not visible at this scale) is also indicated. (d–f) Power time-dependent efficiency measured at 60° for 2-μm (d), 1-μm (e), and a mixed solution of polystyrene microspheres (f). The received power when no particles are flowing is taken as the reference (PREF).
