Abstract: This disclosure relates to an external monitoring device for a flow cytometer. The external monitoring device comprises: a housing configured to reversibly attach to a portion of the flow cytometer such that an optical system within the housing is aligned with a monitoring region within a flowcell of the flow cytometer. The optical system is configured to continuously capture and monitor at least a portion of the optical energy emanating from the monitoring region of the flowcell. The optical system comprises at least one sensor configured to: detect the optical energy captured by the optical system, and generate, based on the detected optical energy, an image of the monitoring region. The external monitoring device may further comprise a processor configured to continuously provide the image to an electronic device, for example a display or a computing device.
