A new flow cytometer with a very small observation volume has been developed to detect individual viruses with good resolution, and has been used to discriminate between two types of viral particles based on differences in their light scattering. Measurements of light scattering and fluorescence made with such an instrument can provide a basis for quantitative analysis and sorting of viruses and other particles in the micron and submicron size range.

AbstractWe report the observation of strongly anisotropic scattering of laser light at oblique incidence on (100)-oriented porous silicon layers. We performed angle-resolved light scattering measurements and three concentric rings were observed. Modeling porous silicon by means of nanometric columnar air pores and an effective anisotropic uniaxial dielectric constant explains the observed phenomenon, and besides, the observation of the angle aperture of these rings allows a direct measurement of relative birefringence. We finally study the changes of optical anisotropy after different modifications of the structure.

AbstractThe investigations of light scattering by larger meteoritic and terrestrial single grains (size range 20 μm to 120 μm ) demonstrate that the scattering properties of irregularly shaped dark opaque particles with very rough surfaces resemble the characteristic features of the empirical scattering function as derived from measurements of the zodiacal light. Purely transparent or translucent irregularly shaped particles show a quite different scattering behaviour. Furthermore irregular and multicomponent fluffy particles in the size range of a few microns were modelled by microwave analog measurements in order to explain positive and negative polarization of the light scattered by cometary dust grains.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from liquid biopsies are extensively analyzed by flow cytometry, a technology that is continuously evolving. Thresholding utilizing a violet 405 nm laser side scatter (VSSC) has recently been implemented. Here, we collected set of large EV (lEV) samples from cord blood, which we analyzed using a standard flow cytometer improved via a 405 nm laser side scatter. Samples were analyzed using two distinct thresholding methods—one based on VSSC, and one based on VSSC combined with fluorescence thresholding on stained phosphatidylserine. Through these thresholding methods, we compared lEVs from pre-term births and control cord blood. Double-labeled lEVs with platelet CD36+/CD41+, activated platelet CD41+/CD62P+ and endothelial CD31+/CD105+ antibodies were used. Apart from comparing the two groups together, we also correlated measured lEVs with the thresholding methods. We also correlated the results of this study with data analyzed in our previous study in which we used a conventional 488 nm laser SSC. We did not find any difference between the two cord blood groups. However, we found highly concurrent data via our correlation of the thresholding methods, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.80 to 0.96 even though the numbers of detected lEVs differed between thresholding methods. In conclusion, our approaches to thresholding provided concurrent data and it seems that improving the cytometer with the use of a VSSC increases its sensitivity, despite not being particularly critical to the validity of flow cytometric studies that compare pathological and physiological conditions in liquid biopsies.
