Hi, You can purchase fluorescent microspheres from DUKE SCIENTIFIC. I do not have their address or phone in the US, but their European rep is Distrilab in Amersfoort, The Netherlands. Contact Albert van Nierop, you can reach him by e-mail at . The spheres are available in a sizes ranging from 0.025 micron to about 5 micron and several different colours. Good luck!
