Hi,

I am just beginning to work with Chlamy, and have had trouble getting
consistent cell counts.  My current protocol consists of removing a sample
from my culture, spiking it with 10% Lugol's solution, and then counting
with a hemacytometer.  When performing a growth curve, my counts are
inconsistent, especially at higher cell densities.  This contrasts with OD
measurements made at 750 nm, which are beautiful.  Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated!

Jon
