About This Product
A haemocytometer lets a known, small volume of suspension be counted under the microscope. The slide is designed for routine counts of red and white cells in blood, and it also works for bacteria or yeast. Because the volume over each square is fixed, counting cells in a set number of squares gives the number of cells per unit volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What can be counted with this haemocytometer?
It is designed for routine red and white blood cell counts and can also be used to count bacteria or yeast cells in a suspension.
Q2. How is the cell concentration worked out?
With the special coverslip in place, each 0.05 x 0.05 mm square has 2.5 × 10⁻⁴ mm³ of suspension above it, so a count over known squares gives cells per unit volume.
