In this problem, you will design a filter system for a flow cytometer. The four fluorescent dyes are FITC, PE, PE-TR,and PE-Cy5. Their emisison spectra are provided below. Detectors are arranged as shown in the figure below. The FITC signal is detected from Filter 1, the PE signal from Filter 2, the PE-TR signal from Filter 3 and the PE-Cy 5 signal from Filter 4.   Part 4.1 Provide a rationale for the order in which the filters are arranged with respect to the unfiltered signal.   Part 4.2 You are given 9 candidates from which you have to choose 4 for the filters in the diagram above. Choose 4 and justify your selection. # Filter type Wavelength A Long pass 650 nm B Short pass 530 nm C Long pass 490 nm D Band pass 550-590 nm E Long pass 560 nm F Short pass 640 nm G Long pass 620 nm H Band pass 620-640 nm I Short pass 590 nm

Question
In this problem, you will design a filter system for a flow cytometer. The four fluorescent dyes are FITC,
PE, PE-TR,and PE-Cy5. Their emisison spectra are provided below. Detectors are arranged as shown in the
figure below. The FITC signal is detected from Filter 1, the PE signal from Filter 2, the PE-TR signal from
Filter 3 and the PE-Cy 5 signal from Filter 4.
 
Part 4.1
Provide a rationale for the order in which the filters are arranged with respect to the unfiltered signal.
 
Part 4.2
You are given 9 candidates from which you have to choose 4 for the filters in the diagram above. Choose
4 and justify your selection.
# Filter type Wavelength
A Long pass 650 nm
B Short pass 530 nm
C Long pass 490 nm
D Band pass 550-590 nm
E Long pass 560 nm
F Short pass 640 nm
G Long pass 620 nm
H Band pass 620-640 nm
I Short pass 590 nm
