Flow Cytometry in Hematopathology |
Using the case studies CD-ROM The 2nd edition of Flow Cytometry in Hematopathology: A Visual Approach to Data Analysis and Interpretation is accompanied by a CD-ROM with 100 case studies. The case studies are designed for computers running Windows 32-bit operating systems (Windows 98 or newer). They require a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and have been optimized for that resolution with 16 million colors (24-bit). Your computer must be capable of displaying at least 65,000 colors (16-bit) at 1024 x 768 in order to view the photomicrographs properly. This edition of the case studies has been designed to run directly from the CD-ROM. No installation is necessary. However, if you choose to transfer the material from the CD-ROM to your hard disk drive, you must copy both folders, "Database" and "FCM_Case_Studies" to the same directory with their contents intact for the program to run properly. The program "FCMCaseStudies.exe" should start automatically on most Windows computers. If not, please read below for instructions on starting the application. Using the case studies: The case studies are very simple to use. You will find FCMCaseStudies.exe in the "FCM_Case_Studies" folder on the CD-ROM, and can use "Windows Explorer" or "My Computer", to start the program. Once the program (FCMCaseStudies.exe) is running, simply choose the case study that you wish to open using the drop-down list in the tool bar at the top of the screen. Clicking on the microscope icons in the tool bar allows you to display the photomicrographs associated with the case. The FCM graphics and explanations for each case are presented in a series of tabbed pages with up to six graphics per page. Simply click on the tab (FCM Graphics 1, FCM Graphics 2, etc.) to see the graphics on that page. Troubleshooting: With the latest Windows operating systems, setting the "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" property can rob you of vertical space, causing the top of the program window to be partially cut-off. If you experience this difficulty, simply uncheck "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" and/or check "Auto-hide the taskbar", which will restore the full vertical space to your screen. |
