Regarding the uppersize limit of a scan: The cuvette is 180 x 80 micron. I
wouldn't try anything bigger than 70 micron, it's asking for trouble. Note this
is especially true for beads - cells obviously are more flexible and might
actually go higher than 80 micron.

You might try running your mixture of bead / cells through a known pore size
filter/mesh prior to analysis and go from there. The fluorescence is
indepedent.
