A Word From The Publisher

Welcome to Volume 8 of our Cytometry CD-ROM series. Making it to #8 has been a lot of work by a number of people. Mostly we want to acknowledge our sponsors who have worked with us now for over 8 years as we developed this program.

The goal of this multimedia educational program is exactly that - education. Education is the very basis of success in high-technology fields. If we don't continuously strive to raise our knowledge by continuous education we will simply become a sideline.

Use the material on this CD to promote life-long learning. Pass it along to someone else when you have finished with it. Actively support the companies that have sponsored this project. These companies are strong supporters of the cytometry and we encourage you to visit them on the web and use their products.

This CD-set is unique - it is our first double-CD set. Our colleagues have worked hard to bring you a quality seminar via video. This is a great learning tool.
