Abstract
Cell counters are used for haematological measurement. Semi-automated and automated cell counting has proved to be much more reliable than microscopic cell counting, because a far greater number of cells can be counted rapidly in a specimen by an analyser system, resulting in greater precision. However, the improvement in precision does not necessarily imply a simultaneous improvement in accuracy. For the study of pathological cell types, microscopic examination of a blood smear by an experienced investigator is still most valuable, and in many instances the method of choice.
