1. An automated method for analyzing cells containing fluorescent markers, the method comprising the steps of:

  • providing a substrate with multiple locations, at least some of which contain one or more cells containing a fluorescent marker;

    directing a light beam onto each location, thereby causing the fluorescent marker to emit fluorescent light;

    automatically detecting the fluorescent light;

    automatically measuring and recording the lifetime of the fluorescent light; and

    correlating the lifetime of the fluorescent light with the location containing the cell with the fluorescent marker emitting the fluorescent light.
