Memorial Symposium for Dr. Leon Wheeless - To honor the life and legacy of Dr. Leon Wheeless, emeritus professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, who passed away last April. Dr. Wheeless made pioneering contributions to slit-scanning cytometry and developed one of the earliest imaging flow cytometers—innovations that continue to shape the field today. Join us as former colleagues, collaborators, and students share reflections on his remarkable career and enduring impact.

Thinkcyte VisionSort powered by Ghost Cytometry 
True Innovation in Cell Analysis & Sorting - Drive Discovery with VisionSort
This is new cell sorting technology that uses mostly label free AI driven morphological profiling to identify and sort cells.  The system does also have 5 fluorescence parameters and scatter to help confirm phenotype, but once morphological profiling is established it can also be run completely label free when desired.
