Discuss the principles of cell counting using trypan blue and a hemocytometer, etc. 2) Manual counting of the cellular image - Count the number of cells manually. SHOW ALL WORK FOR CREDIT. Please find the number of live cells, number of dead cells, total number of cells, and percent viability. 3) Explain the sources of error, scope of improvement, etc.
Why Count Cells What are the different methods of counting cells (manual, semi-automatic, automatic)? How do they work and give examples (i.e., for manual, define and explain how a haemocytometer works and how to use it)? What are the advantages and disadvantages and/or different contexts in which you might use each method? What is trypan, and how do you use it?
