Figure 2

Extending FuGE classes to Model a Flow Cytometer. Figure 2A shows a flow cytometer in Flow-OM. Cytometer and its components (i.e., FlowCell, OpticalDetector, OpticalFilter and LightSource) are extended from Equipment. Besides physical components, Flow-OM describes OpticalPath containing sequences of light sources, optical detectors, and filters. Figure 2B shows an example flow cytometer described in Flow-ML. In this example, flow cytometer contains one flow cell, three lasers, and a few other optical components.
