You can also find a Wiki version of the book by clicking here.

The wiki contains all of the information in this book, as well as additional information contributed by the flow cytometry community. If you visit the Wiki, you can edit existing articles, make corrections, add new chapters and even add your own data files. We hope that the wiki will grow into a text book of flow cytometry developed and maintained by the whole flow community. Please visit and participate!

A bonus feature of the online version is that most of the figures have links to the data file from which they were derived. If you have downloaded the free FCS Express Reader, you can open the analysis layout and 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.

To get an overview of the book and the intended audience, please read the Preface.

We hope that you enjoy this new venture and look forward to hearing any comments.
