Today, every biological
scientist needs to have basic knowledge of flow
cytometry in order to better understand other people’s experiments,
even if they do not use it in their own research. Flow Cytometry - a Basic Introduction,
by Dr. Michael Ormerod, will give you that knowledge. Dr. Ormerod is an
experienced flow cytometrist, and is well-known and respected as an
instructor in flow cytometry, lecturing on courses and workshops
world-wide.
The intended audience of the book is people coming
to flow cytometry for the first time. It is of a reasonable length (116
pages), so that it can be read and understood easily. While the book is
not an exhaustive exposition of every aspect of the technique, it
covers flow cytometry's major applications in mammalian biology.
An important value of the book is that it can be accessed on the web.
Most of the figures used have links to the data file from which they
were derived. Also, the analysis protocols used to create the figures
and analyse the data are available to download for free. These
protocols, known as FCS Express layout files, can be opened using the
free FCS Express Reader, produced by De Novo Software.
Once the layouts are opened, readers of the book can then investigate
and explore the data further. In many of the layouts, extra information
is supplied, including additional data files not shown in the book. The
reader can experiment with the analysis of the data, learning far more
than they could just by seeing the exported images.
