Laser scanning cytometry (LSC) in pathology--a perspective tool for the future?
Cytometry is becoming a standard method of examination not only in biology but also in various fields of experimental and clinical medicine. While in flow cytometry suspensions of cells are measured, laser scanning cytometers enable both the measurement of cells in single-cell suspensions (after immobilising the cells on a conventional glass slide) and in frozen or paraffin-embedded tissue sections. We discuss the possible fields of utilisation and future perspectives of laser scanning cytometry in medicine with special reference to clinical pathology and cytology (Fig. 3, Ref. 49).
