Table 1. Comparison of cell morphological features between fluorescence images restored by our imaging flow cytometer prototype and taken by fluorescence microscope based on 100 cell images from each group.

Cell Images from	Area (um^2)		Circularity		Solidity		Aspect Ratio
	Mean	St. D.	Mean	St. D.	Mean	St. D.	Mean	St. D.
Imaging Flow Cytometer	126.77	3.199	0.82	0.028	0.96	0.007	1.52	0.088
Fluorescence Microscope	128.74	4.511	0.87	0.048	0.96	0.013	1.08	0.064

Size is the above-background area of the cell image; circularity equals to 4πA/P², where A is area, P is perimeter of the cell image; solidity is the ratio of area to convex area; aspect ratio is the ratio of major axis to minor axis of the cell image’s fitted ellipse.
