Abstract
A flow cytometer may include a vibration isolation structure on which a flow cytometer optical system assembly is supported when the flow cytometer is in an operational configuration. A shear protection structure may be positioned to protect a vibration isolation structure from damage during handling and shipping. A flow cytometer optical system assembly may include optical component units fixed in position on a support platform with adjustability of one or more optical features in the optical component units. A light-tight dichroic mirror unit may include a rotatably mounted dichroic mirror with a locking mechanism to permit re-setting angular positioning of a dichroic mirror.
