Using the Mie theory of light scattering for homogeneous spheres, the low-angle,
high-gain light scatter measurement is converted into cell volume and the high-
angle, high-gain light scatter measurement is converted into refractive index (n).
The following histograms and cytograms are used for platelet analysis:
Platelet X
scatter signals.
Platelet Y
scatter signals.
Platelet Vol
Platelet PM
Platelet PC
PLT Scatter
light scatter signals along the x axis and the low-angle (2° to 3°), high-gain light
scatter signals on the y axis.
PLT Volume PC
(PC) along the x axis and the platelet volume on the y axis.
