Claim 10:
11. A system for measuring a cell count of a first cell type in a blood fluid sample, the sample including a second cell type, the system comprising:
a hematology cell counter;
a flowcell configured to facilitate flow of a sample stream;
an imaging apparatus configured to acquire images at an imaging region of the flowcell of a first number of the first cell type and images of a second number of the second cell type;
a processor coupled to the hematology cell counter to receive signals indicative of a population of the second cell type, and the processor coupled to the imaging apparatus to receive the acquired images of the first cell type and the second cell type; and
a tangible non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable medium storing a computer application that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to use the first number, the second number, and the population of the second cell type to calculate a cell count of the first cell type;
wherein the first cell type is different than the second cell type.
