The Good, the Bad, and the Post Unmixing Compensation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Here it is! The debate that will settle this business of post acquisition adjustment of your unmixing matrix. Is it an appropriate thing to do? Or will applying manual compensation to your data send you to the 9th circle of hell (the one with the puppy stuck in ice)? So fine, my awesome guests Florian Mair and Rui Gardner do not come up with the final answer during this very insightful discussion. But I think the discussion will get us flow cytometry nerds look at the issue in a different way, and offers valuable insights for anyone struggling with incomplete correction of their spectral overlap!
