ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides instruments for analyzing a multiplicity of fluorescent dyes using a multiplicity of amplifying photodetectors, methods for using the instruments, methods for setting the instrument parameters, and methods for resetting the instrument parameters following a changed in photodetector amplification. The present invention is particularly applicable in the field of flow cytometry.
