Abstract :
This paper describes a new type of imaging, which is referred to as serial time encoded amplified microscopy (STEAM). The ultrafast real-time imaging capability of the STEAM camera is employed to capture fast microfluidic flow and laser ablation. Recent results are presented from STEAM-based flow cytometry, which lead towards detection of rare cells in a large population of normal cells.
