Satellite Remote-Sensing Method Hatches New Cell-Analysis System

J. Paul Robinson, a Purdue professor of biomedical engineering, makes an adjustment on the multispectral analysis instrument in his laboratory at Discovery Park's Bindley Bioscience Center. With the instrument, Robinson can study 32 colors from a single cell flowing past a laser beam in a fraction of a second, yielding data about cells for applications ranging from medicine to homeland security.
