Abstract
A method of using laser scanning cytometry to provide a viewable image of a specimen includes impinging a beam of light from a light source on the specimen and positioning a detector such that the detector captures only a portion of an unimpinged beam from the light source, and the detector captures forward scattered light from the beam after the beam impinges the specimen. Forward scattered light from the beam is captured with the detector after the beam impinges the specimen to produce an image of the specimen, and the position of the detector is adjusted to control the contrast of the image.
