Imaging flow cytometry was first introduced into algal research in the late 1990s. The ability to enumerate, classify and determine biomass of phytoplankton from environmental samples is essential for determining ecosystem function, carbon density, and the role phytoplankton play in both freshwater and marine microbial food webs. Traditional micro-phytoplankton quantification methods use microscopic techniques that require preservation and are slow, tedious and very laborious. The availability of automated imaging microscopy platforms has revolutionized the way particles and cells are detected within their natural environment. The ability to examine cells unaltered and without preservation is key to providing more accurate cell concentration estimates and phytoplankton biomass. Currently many imaging cytometry tools are available for use in aquatic sciences and provide a more rapid and unbiased method for enumerating and classifying phytoplankton within diverse aquatic environments. Imaging flow cytometry, combines the speed and statistical capabilities of flow cytometry with imaging features of microscopy, and has contributed significantly to the advancement of phytoplankton analysis in recent years. This presentation discusses various instrumentation and applications relevant tophytoplankton communities.
