Hi,

I am interested in a response from anyone who has flow experience on
bacteria or microsporidia that measure one micron in size.  We have
successfully performed flow (FACScan) on microsporidia that measure two
microns, but this was close to the minimum size limit on the FSC profiles
when using LOG mode.  The purified populations become more dispersed when
LINEAR mode is used on the scatter profiles of which we prefer not to use.
Is it better to use LINEAR or LOG mode for scatter on one micron organisms
using a FACscan?

Thanks in advance.
