title: Flow cytometry.
abstract: A brief review of flow cytometry is presented. Emphasis is on the construction of relatively simple instruments and on their application to problems in medical physics. Among these are the problems of measuring the biological parameters that determine the response of tumors to therapy and of measuring the biological damage in people exposed to ionizing radiations.
