Hi Flow-ers, Not all systems have the limitations Albert Donnenberg lists in his response. The Cytomics FC500 Digital Signal Processing Flow Cytometer has RXP software which uses 20bit data, and Advanced Digital Compensation, both real-time or "After the fact". Martin J Dominguez "Donnenberg, Albert" <donnenbergad@MSX.UPMC.EDU> on 19/03/2002 22:44:26 From: To: cyto-inbox cc: Subject: 256 vs. 1024 channels After-the-fact software compensation requires un-logging, subtraction, and re-logging. 1024 channels of resolution is a bit sparse for this, but it works fairly well. Lower than 1024 would be too coarse. You can always lower your resolution during analysis (e.g. for smoothing) but you can never increase it. Life is short, memory is cheap.
