Does anyone have any advice on quantification of mitochondrial probes using FACS vs. microscopy?

04 April 2014 0 4K Report

We have 2 conditions where the morphology and signal of several mitochondrial probes are different. I keep coming across caveats associated with both techniques when it comes to quantification. Any suggestions?
