Description
Hemocytometer
Used to count blood cells - consists of a thick glass microscope slide with a rectangular indentation that creates a chamber of certain dimensions. This chamber is made of shock resistant glass and is etched with a grid of perpendicular lines.
The device is carefully crafted so that the area bounded by the lines is known, and the depth of the chamber is also known. Therefore it is possible to count the number of cells in a specific volume of fluid, and thereby calculate the concentration of cells in fluid overall.
Includes: Hemocytometer Slide, 2 diluting pipets (RBC) & WBC), 2.5ml syringe, and cover glasses.
