Description: 

PDF Slope logABD>0.75 (only particles >5um); Particle size Distribution Function slope of the plot of log cell abundance (particles per mL) versus Area Based Diameter (micrometers) calculated for particles of >= 5 micrometers diameter using a Yokogowa FlowCAM. Area Based Diameter (ABD) is defined as the diameter measured by the number of grey scale pixels of the binary image converted to a circle with the same number of pixels.
