The hemocytometer (or haemocytometer, or Burker's chamber) is a counting-chamber device originally designed and usually used for counting blood cells. [ 1 ] The hemocytometer was invented by Louis-Charles Malassez and consists of a thick glass microscope slide with a rectangular indentation that creates a precision volume chamber.
A counting chamber, is a microscope slide that is especially designed to enable cell counting. Hemocytometers and Sedgewick Rafter counting chambers are two types of counting chambers. The hemocytometer has two gridded chambers in its middle, which are covered with a special glass slide when counting.
a microscope associated apparatus used for manual counting of cells in body fluids like blood, etc. including for sperm count: Wintrobe's tube: used for ESR (Wintrobe's method), PCV, haematocrit, etc. Westergren's tube and ESR stand: used for ESR (Westergren's method)
Through the work of Karl von Vierordt, Louis-Charles Malassez, Karl Bürker and others blood cell concentration could by the late 19th century be accurately measured using a blood cell counting chamber, the hemocytometer, and an optical microscope. [3] [4] Until the 1950s the hemocytometer was the standard method to count blood cells. [5]
Malassez's hemocytometer consisted of a microscope slide containing a flattened capillary tube. Diluted blood was introduced to the capillary chamber by means of a rubber tube attached to one end, and an eyepiece with a scaled grid was attached to the microscope, permitting the microscopist to count the number of cells per volume of blood.
Hematology analyzers (also spelled haematology analysers in British English) are used to count and identify blood cells at high speed with accuracy. [1] [2] [3] During the 1950s, laboratory technicians counted each individual blood cell underneath a microscope.

Observation with an optical microscope of Hyaloperonospora parasitica within a leaf of Arabidopsis thaliana by using the trypan blue staining. Trypan blue is commonly used in microscopy (for cell counting) and in laboratory mice for assessment of tissue viability. [5] The method cannot distinguish between necrotic and apoptotic cells.
