Abstract
Approximations to distinguish between X sperm and Y sperm are obtained by detecting light scattered into a pre-set angular range. The scattered light is scattered in turn by nuclei of sperm moving single-file in a sample container. The sperm are not modified prior to the light scattering and are not modified by the light scattering. Approximations are improved by at least a second detection of scattered light.
