There is a lot of flow cytometry data on phytoplankton, since these organisms were originally discovered using the technology. Right now, I'm trying to acquire 0.98 um beads to use as a control. The sizes of the most abundant phytoplankton are around that. It's a control bead that we don't normally use in the lab, so I'm trying to see if anyone else has it.

Also, these phytoplankton have fluorescent signatures that are well characterized.

I hope that answers your questions Spracklcat. :-)

I haven't gotten anywhere on this yet, because my boss is away on vacation, and I'm running the facility by my lonesome.
