If your Mac is a reasonably beefy one, you could install a PC emulator such
as RealPC or VirtualPC on it.  Then I believe you can read Mac disks from
Windows within the emulator.

Alternatively, just throw the files onto a DOS-formatted disk on your Mac. 
Macs can read and write (and even format) MacOS, DOS, and ProDOS disks.

(Or my favorite solution, which would be to find a flow cytometry program
for the Mac -- I don't know much about flow cytometry, but doesn't NIH
Image do that sort of thing nicely?)

Good luck,
