Can this be moved to Haemocytometer? It is inconsistent with all the spellings within the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.5.146 (talk) 10:18, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moved this to US spelling (hemo- as opposed to haemo). I know, it's hard for Britishers, and I would normally spell everything with "ae" (ischemic vs. ischaemic etc.) Jfdwolff 14:41, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I have taken the liberty to merge the content with the 'hemacytometer' page and redirect that page to this. No content has been lost. I'll see what I can do about a few diagrams or pictures. Rob cowie 15:23, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Diagram

The diagram I jst created is incorrect. I will update it asap.

Rob cowie, is it still wrong? Where's the error? -- 199.71.174.100 21:21, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I think it is. I think the areas on the diagram are incorrect. I'll check but I can't do it for a few days. Rob cowie 22:44, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the blue area should be 1/256mm squared. Although I'd appreciate your corroboration. Rob cowie 22:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeap, 1/256 sounds right. As an anon. contributor, I can't upload images. And my dumb machine can't process 'svg' files. Sorry, can't help much but edit the text. -- 199.71.174.100 14:02, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Are you intending to use the image? Just interested, I've released all rights to it so feel free to do with it what you will. Rob cowie 15:08, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing. I've printed out the whole wikiarticle for personal reference. I find it quite useful. Thank you.-- 199.71.174.100 23:11, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Before skimming through this article, I was under the impression that the haemocytometer's 'A' square (1mm² square that is) was split into 25 seperate 'B' squares (yellow) of width 0.2mm², and is then further divided into 16 'C' squares (ie 1/400mm²). As shown here: http://www.ece.arizona.edu/~bme517/supporting%20documents/Microscopy/Microscopy%20lab_files/image004.jpg Or perhaps more diagramatically here: http://static.flickr.com/38/104330384_bf4d7b72f9_o.jpg So blue squares should be 1/400mm². If this is another model of haemocytometer, then perhaps a distinction between them should be made... Flooble 14:06, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unsure. I created the current diagram from notes I made whilst at uni. It is possible that my notes were wrong. I'll see if I can get hold of a haemocytometer and a microscope for 10 minutes. Of course, there may be several different types floating around - I don't know. Rob cowie 15:01, 10 April 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Photo layout

I've had a miserable time trying to get the photos to float in useful ways to make this layout look good. What I've got now is a little hackish and still gives a barely tolerable result, so if anybody with more wiki fu can improve it, please, have at it. -- JVinocur 02:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New photo

Found this image of a view of a haemocytometer down a microscope on the commons, not sure where to fit it in though! - Zephyris _Talk 11:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whats happened to the images in the article? copyright problems?

Vandalism

"Often known as the 'Pope of Biology', the hemocytometer is often prayed to in order to receive good results. As it is such an important instrument for many biological experiments, breaking or misuse of a haemocytometer will result in bad luck in science for 8 years, the total number of quadrants on a haemocytometer."

Aaaaah, you gotta love it :) I dont have the heart to remove this work of literary genius... - Zephyris _Talk 18:56, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Usage tricks

This section isn't terribly encylopedic. The list should be prose, should not contain "you(r)..." and should be merged under usage. -Superbeecat 04:05, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that the counting details are clear, I suggest that we refer to the diagram i.e. the number of cells counted in the red square area = 1/10000th of the number of cells/ml in the solution counted. If this solution was the cells mixed with dye in a 1:1 ratio then double the number is present in your starting solution Tom Kean 20:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Please be careful when replacing text

At some point someone went through this article replacing all "haemocytometer"s to "hemocytometer"s, and this broke the links to several images. Please be carful editing this page - automated text replacement is never a good idea. - Zephyris _Talk 14:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

add the french link

A link to the french translation should be added : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellule_de_Malassez —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.186.212.231 (talk) 22:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a translation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.146.12.168 (talk) 11:45, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect photo

Does anybody have a photo of a chamber being loaded correctly? The picture on the article shows it being loaded without a coverslip. I'd make my own photo but my haemocytometer is pretty battered. --life is short (talk) 16:42, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Neubauer Chamber

Are Hemocytometer and Neubauer Chamber synonyms? ~KvnG 21:13, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
