Can-control and gate-stain ion-count comparison (Defense 1271-B)

A slide comparing the can positive control, at approximately 3 million ion count, with the gate evidence stain, at approximately 221,000, from the same day. Blasier used it to argue that the difference was about 14-fold rather than 1,000-fold.
