Pronunciation: [sˌa͡ɪtəfə͡ʊtˈə͡ʊmətɹɪ] (IPA) 
Cytophotometry is a term used to describe the process of measuring and analyzing the amount of light emitted or absorbed by cells. This technique is commonly used in various fields such as biochemistry, pharmacology, and microbiology. Synonyms for this term include cytofluorometry, flow cytometry, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Cytofluorometry involves the use of fluorescent dyes or antibodies to label specific cell components, while flow cytometry uses a laser beam to measure the physical and chemical characteristics of cells as they flow through a detection system. FACS is a variation of flow cytometry that allows for the sorting and isolation of specific cell types based on their fluorescence properties.
