Abstract

Flow cytometry has developed over the past 30 years from initial attempts to count and size particles. The first cell sorter was described in 1965, and multiparameter machines measuring two fluorescence wavelengths were described around 1970. An excellent summary of the historical development of flow cytometers is given by Melamed et al. (1990a).
