Dear All, Just picking up on Bruce's point about self-absorption. If you are using Viper http://www.cells.es/Beamlines/CLAESS/software/viper.html, I know that there is a way of correcting the measured fluorescence data for self-absorption. This correction is based on work by Troger

Dear Fiona, I think it would be pretty unusual for transmission and fluorescence data measured at the same time to be of comparable quality and both be noisy-but-good-enough that merging would actually help. Are you sure that the data a similar enough (no pinhole or self-absorption effects) that
