Welcome to Purdue University Cytometry Laboratories' Information Network

Jim Watson takes us all the way back to Isac Newton in his attempt at reducing complex physics to understandable components in the flow cytometers we use in our laboratories. You can almost see Jim Watson chatting with Isac Newton as you read this book - and, since Watson was privileged to actually gain access to a handwritten copy of Newton's Principia, I'm not surprised! His excellent diagrams are very useful and a real feature of this book. The text takes some difficult-to-understand areas of flow cytometry and reduces them to straight-forward but fundamental principles and gently carries the user through to a good understanding of the area. If you want detail, it's in this book. There are plenty of equations where mathematical calculations are important (but not enough to totally frighten away the average biologist!). Jim Watson leaves nothing to the imagination in this book as he covers a lot, and in detail.

CD ROM Vol 2 was produced by staff at the Purdue University Cytometry Laboratories and distributed free of charge as an educational service to the cytometry community.
