Abstract
An enhanced detection system can eliminate use of a sheath fluid by selecting which particles that pass through an sensing region to detect parametric characteristics thereof based upon position of each particle while it is in a sensing region relative to one or more predetermined positions, such as an in-focus position relative to one or more light beams directed into the sensing region, to enhance accuracy and robustness of particle parametric characteristics detection.
