摘要 |
The invention provides an irradiation unit for a flow-cytometry-based analytical instrument and analytical instrument including the same. The irradiation unit comprises a light source; a light beam focusing module for focusing the illuminating light beam on an irradiated area; and a light beam shaper disposed between the light source and the light beam focusing module, for flattening the distribution of light intensity on the irradiated area in a direction that is perpendicular to both directions in which cells to be detected flow and the light beam spreads. The irradiation unit and the analytical instrument including the same enable the illuminating light beam to form the irradiated area with the uniform distribution of intensity in a predetermined direction to avoid misjudging particles of the same kind entering into different positions of the irradiated area as different, thereby improving accuracy.
