Sorting Drosophila nuclei with GFP

I would appreciate any helpful tips or references regarding the detection
and sorting of
Drosophila nuclei having GFP expression. I have an Coulter ELITE ESP sorter
using an
argon laser and 525BP. I sort GFP everyday, but GFP expression seems
marginal to none.
The investigator claims to see localized GFP in the embryos, but after
processing to nuclei
the signal is minimal(approx. 3 fold over noise). Has any one had success
using anti-GFP antibody  with low grade expression?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
