The present invention provides an apparatus for isolation of cell clusters which are either embedded or transported. The preferred embodiment is isolation of the insulin producing pancreatic islets of Langerhans but the invention can be used for isolaton of other types of cell clusters and particles in fluid as well. The invention is based on digital imaging of the cell suspension on either a plane surface or in a capillary tubing, where a digital camera scans the cell suspension.

La présente invention se rapporte à un appareil conçu pour isoler des agrégats cellulaires qui sont soit noyés soit transportés. Dans la réalisation préférée de cette invention, on isole des cellules de Langerhans sécrétrices d'insuline, mais cette invention peut également concerner l'isolement d'autres types d'agrégats cellulaires et également de particules dans un fluide. Cette invention est fondée sur une imagerie numérique de la suspension cellulaire soit sur une surface plane soit dans un tube capillaire, ladite imagerie étant obtenue au moyen d'une caméra numérique qui balaye la suspension cellulaire.
