Direct access to the core of the fiber by means of hollow waveguides, porous core, or microstructured optical fiber. This type will not be discussed in details in this chapter as it is covered in another chapter... 

Integration of Multiple Components The functionality and versatility of microfluidic devices for chemical cytometry require the combination of several cell manipulation, processing, and analysis steps. These techniques, discussed in detail in the next section, rely on device components such as microstructures, optical windows, electrodes, embedded waveguides, and valves and pumps, each of which must be miniaturized and integrated on...
