Abstract: A process for detecting cells involves applying a liquid, cell-containing sample to a porous support so that the cells enter the support pores and are retained by a cell-specific binding molecule on the pore surface and, optionally after the cells are detectably labeled, performing an optical read-out by high density imaging the entire porous support volume using an optical system having an optical axis that runs in the direction of sample flow.
