Distance between sort streams

Hi everybody,
I request some advice regarding sorting.
Question: We use a FACStar for sorting. However, inspite of my best
efforts I am not able to get the Left and Right Streams to separate much
from the center stream. As a result the sorted cells miss the collection
tubes. (The left and rt. stream deflection controls are turned to max).

- Does the angle between the 2 charged metal plates (which is adjustable)
have anything to do with it ?.
- Any other suggestions would be welcome.

Many thanks in advance.
