Kamentsky
Kamentsky - Bio/Physics Systems - 1970 commercial cytometer - the “Cytograph” He-Ne laser system at 633 nm for
scatter (and extinction) - supposedly the first commercial instrument
incorporating a laser. It could separate live and dead cells by uptake of Trypan blue. A fluorescence version called the
“Cytofluorograph” followed using an air cooled argon laser at 488 nm excitation
1970 Cytograph presently
