3) Select Plugins → 1 analysis → Cell Counter (or Plugins → Cell Counter). Two new windows will open, a counter window with your image on top of a row of buttons, and a results window where cells will tally. 4) To begin counting, click one of the buttons at the bottom of the counter window.
How do you make a cell counter?
You can calculate your cell concentration using the following formula:
- Total cells/ml = (Total cells counted x Dilution factor x 10,000 cells/ml)/ Number of squares counted.
- Total cells/ml = (325 cells x 2 x 10,000 cells/ml)/ 5 = 130 x 104 cells/ml.
- Total cells in sample = 130 x 104 cells/ml x 5 ml = 650 x 104 cells.

Measuring cell size
- Place a stage micrometer on the stage of the microscope.
- Line up one of the divisions on the eyepiece graticule with a fixed point on the stage micrometer.
- Count the number of divisions on the eyepiece graticule that correspond with a set measurement on the stage micrometer.

- Analyze/Analyze particles.
- Smoothing the image – Ctrl+Shift+S or Process/Smooth – can help with the next step.

- Identify Cells.
Who discovered cell counter?
Figure 1. (Right) The capillary tube cell counter designed by Louis Charles Malassez. (Left) The field of view of blood cells in the capillary tube under light microscope with counting grid in the eye piece [1].
What is 3 part cell counter?
The 3-part analyzer is able to differentiate between 3 types of WBC’s, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. In a 3-part differential cell counter basophils and eosinophils cannot be differentiated and are grouped with population of either neutrophils or monocytes.
How do I use the cell COUNTER plugin?
Open the Cell Counter plugin and the image/stack you want to count (if the Cell Counter plugin is already open you don’t need to open a new instance). Click initialize, now you are ready to count features. Note that at any time you can add types or remove them. Select the type you want to count, and count by clicking on the feature in the image.
