Towards the "Aerosol cytometry" and "Hydrosol cytometry" based on laser aerosol spectrometers

It is possible to construct "aerosol cytometers" based on different types of Zhulanov's laser  aerosol counters | diffusion aerosol spectrometers (DAS) [1-8] and "hydrosol cytometers" based on hydrosol particle counters (adopted for ocean marine, ocean and hydrothermal conditions [9,10]). Such systems can be used for analysis of prebiotic condensation nuclei and self-organization of protobiological structures in aerosols (for example, see [11-17]) not only in native / model Earth conditions, but also in extraterrestrial or exobiological conditions, because the first photoelectric laser spectrometer for large condensation nuclei was developed by Zhulanov et al. in 1970th [18] and they was approbated in real planetochemical and astrochemical conditions. It's well known, that Zhulanov's technique was approbated not only on the Earth (from marine or ocean [9,10] to highest mountains and arid zones [19,20]), but also in cosmic environment on the Venus in framework of the VEGA project [21-25]. It may be used for aims of extraterrestrial organic chemistry (in the gas and aerosol phases) and aerosol exobiology [26-30] (not only for possible bioaerosol contaminants in panspermia-like hypothesis [31], but also for spotaneous self-organized and self-reproducible [32] protocell-like aerosol particles [33]). Consequently, also we can say about possibility of developments of "aerosol protocytometer" / "... protocellometer" based on Zhulanov's laser particle counters [34] and diffusion aerosol spectrometers (and equivalent possibilities for "hydrosol protocytometer" / "...protocellometer", but it is obvious in the standard water-consists concepts of abiogenesi - from the "small warm pond" [35-37] to other hydrosphere-assisted abiogenesis schemes in different oceanic, marine and hydrothermal vent conditions [38-40]). In general (and as a simplest approache for calibration and biological justification / validation of optical scheme of similar cytometric devices) It is obvious (by definition), that aerosol cytometers can be used for multichannel estimation of different types of cells in bioaerosol flows [41-44], including exotic aerosol techniques, such as "aerosol mass cytometry" based on combination of Zhulanov's aerosol counters or aerosol spectrometers with mass-spectrometric aerosol detection [43] (with single-particle resoolution [45,46]). Laser system in different regimes may be used not only as information producing element of experimental setup, but also as a source of energy for initiation of processes in aerosol drops (from ablation [47] in analytical preparation to "power source" for origin of life initiation modeling [48]).
