Abstract
Light scattering has been associated with flow cytometry from its very beginnings. Its primary use has been in discriminating among cells based on differences in size, shape, refractive index, and the presences of internal structures. The sensitivity of light scattering to all these properties makes it a difficult phenomena to interpret. Various theories are useful for interpreting parts of this powerful tool.
