Abstract: MULTISHEET MULTICHANNEL IMAGING CYTOMETRY (MMIC) SYSTEM The present subject matter discloses a multisheet multichannel imaging cytometry (MMIC) system 100 based on vertical-aligned multi-sheet array (VAMSA) illumination technique. The MMIC system employs a unique combination of transmission grating 103, beam-expander 104, cylindrical lens 105, and objective system 106 in a specific optical configuration to generate a diffraction-limited illumination PSF (VAMSA-PSF). The detection is accomplished by a large field-of-view widefield 4f-system that consists of low NA objective lens 112, high performance fluorescence filters 114, tube lens 113 and a sensitive detector 115 (sCMOS/CCD/EMCCD). The VAMSA point spread function (PSF) enables in-parallel interrogation of specimens flowing simultaneously through multiple microfluidic channels 108. The very geometry of PSF enables high quality cross-sectional imaging, and facilitates volumetric interrogation of specimens flowing through microfluidic chip 107 consisting of multiple flow-channels, which is a step towards large population cell/organism screening.
