english: About 38 years ago, we were playing around with a technology in my lab called flow cytometry that was developed for biomedical research for studying cells like cancer cells, but it turns out we were using it for this off-label purpose which was to study phytoplankton, and it was beautifully suited to do that.
non_english: Pred asi 38 rokmi sme sa v laboratóriu hrali s technológiou zvanou prietoková cytometria, vyvinutú pre biomedicínsky výskum na študovanie buniek, napríklad rakovinových. My sme ju však využívali na niečo úplne iné, na študovanie fytoplanktóna, lebo sa to na to krásne hodilo.
