🗑
FSC, SSC, and fluorescence signals generated by the cells’ interaction with the laser are detected by photomultiplier tubes and detectors within the __________   show
🗑
Once the intrinsic and extrinsic cellular properties of many cells have been collected and the data digitalized by the data __________, the data set is ready for analysis by the operator.   show

Typically, 10,000–20,000 “events” are collected for ______ sample.   show
🗑
The first level of data representation is the _________, which plots a chosen parameter (generally fluorescence) on the x-axis versus the number of events on the y-axis   show
🗑
