Counting chambers acc. to Sedgewick Rafter are intended for counting of particles and microorganisms in water or other transparent liquids.

A counting chamber is made of special optical glass. It is used to count cells or other particles in suspensions under a microscope. Counting chambers are mainly used for counting blood cells (e.g. leucocytes, erythrocytes, thrombocytes, …) and cells in fluid of the brain and spinal cord. Furthermore, counting chambers are also used to count bacteria, sperm and fungus spores.
