VisualSpreadsheet can determine the total volume it imaged with the following calculation:
Total Volume Imaged = Number of Images Taken during the Run × Volume per Picture (µm
3
)
VisualSpreadsheet can calculate PPM using either the Volume (ESD) or Volume (ABD) particle volume
measurements.
Total Volume of Particles using ESD or ABD (µm

)
PPM = ————————————————————— X 10

To locate the values used in the above calculations, from the Main window:
·
For Height and Width, access Setup > Context > Capture (tab) > Acceptable Region (section) to
view the total number of pixels from left to right and from top to bottom.
·
For Depth, access Setup > Context > Flow Cell (tab) > Flow cell (section) for the “Flow cell
depth” value (populated from the Flow Cell Database file).
·
For total number of camera images, access Setup > Context > Run Summary (tab) > Images >
Total.
