A schematic of the imaging configuration used for the measurement of temperature via singledye fluorescence is presented in Fig. 2. Light from an illumination source, like an Nd YAG laser, argon-ion laser, or a mercury-arc lamp, is directed through an epi-fluorescent Alter cube and through a microscope objective lens to excite the fluorescent dye molecules in the microfluidic... 

The main problem with the Raman spectrometers is the weakness of the Raman scattering. Only one in 10 incident photons is inelastically scattered. Powerful lasers (argon, krypton or helium—neon) are used. The laser beam has to be focused accurately on the specimen surface. The scattered light is recorded at 90° to the incident light beam. The discrimination of Raman scattering from Rayleigh scattering is accomplished by the use of a very efficient monochromator system, photomultiplier and amplifier. 

Flow cytometer. We currently use the FACSCalibur system (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) equipped with two lasers (argon ion laser emitting at 488 nm and red diode laser emitting at 633 nm). Alternatives that may also work well are available from Merck Millipore, Bio-Rad, Beckman Coulter, or others.
