Examples of hemocytometer in the following topics:
-
Direct Counting
- Direct counting methods include microscopic counts using a hemocytometer or a counting chamber.
- The hemocytometer works by creating a volumetric grid divided into differently sized cubes for accurately counting the number of particles in a cube and calculating the concentration of the entire sample.
- As with hemocytometers or counting chambers, cultures need to be heavily diluted prior to plating.
