Flow Cytometry - A Basic Introduction.
A new introductory book on flow cytometry by Michael Ormerod.Michael writes:
I have just published a new introductory book on flow cytometry which can be read, free, at flowbook.denovosoftware.comI would be grateful if you could let the members of your Society know about the book. Would it be possible to put a link on your Web site?
The book has some unique features which are described below.
In partnership with De Novo Software, Dr. Michael Ormerod has just published a new book: Flow Cytometry - A Basic Introduction. 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.
We are offering the book in three different formats. You can purchase the book as a traditional book from De Novo web site. The entire contents of the book are also online. A bonus feature of the online version is that most of the figures have links to the data file(s) from which they were derived. If you have downloaded the free FCS Express Reader, you can open the analysis layout that was used to create each figure. In some cases, extra information about the figure is supplied, including other data files. The reader can experiment with the data, changing the position of the gates, markers, quadrants etc.
We have also created a wiki version of the book at flowbook-wiki.denvosoftware.com. The wiki version contains all the contents of the book, but allows anyone to add or edit articles. We hope that you will be able to contribute in areas of your expertise to make the wiki a valuable flow cytometry resource for entire community. Please do not be shy, the more people contribute content to the wiki, the better it will be.
