Abstract:
The invention relates to a counting chamber for a microscope, adjustable in height. The method measures a cell count at two different chamber heights and deduces the concentration of particles without an exact calibration of the absolute height, as the height difference gives a measurement of the “missing” volume and therefore an estimate of the particle concentration.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 12 , comprising the steps of\n (1) providing a sample comprising cells and/or particles to be analyzed; (2) providing a counting compartment comprising a marking in the lid and a marking in the bottom or in its measurement windows (which allows z axis-calibration), and/or\n providing a counting compartment or device comprising a sensor (such as a white-light interferometer sensor, current sensor, capacitive sensor or laser sensor), \n (3) loading the counting compartment with the sample, (4) measuring the distance between the marking in the lid and the marking in the bottom or in its measurement windows (i.e. z axis-calibration) or by measuring the depth with the sensor; and then determining the depth of the loaded counting department; optionally comprising the use of a correction value or factor; (5) determining the sample value(s) to be measured, (6) opening the counting compartment by opening or lifting the lid or top part; (7) rinsing the counting compartment and thereby removing the sample.
