Abstract:
Cell counters and methods of their use are disclosed herein. The cell counters comprise a sample mounting system that includes a base comprising a mounted lower sample surface and a cover comprising a mounted upper sample surface; a bright-field light source incorporated in the cover; an objective lens mounted below the sample mounting system; optionally, a fluorescence excitation source in optical communication with the sample mounting system; and an imaging system in optical communication with the bright-field light source and the objective lens. The mounted sample surfaces are configured for repeated use, such that disposable sample cartridges are not needed.

Claim (Index 43):
The method of  claim 42 , wherein the device comprises a height adjustment pin in one of the base or the movable arm and a height adjustment pin receiver in the other of the base or the movable arm, and the method comprises setting the zero gap measurement by (1) placing the upper sample surface in direct contact with the lower sample surface in the absence of a sample, (2) moving the height adjustment pin into contact with the height adjustment pin receiver, and (3) detecting the contact between the height adjustment pin and the height adjustment pin receiver when the upper sample surface is in direct contact with the lower sample surface in the absence of a sample.
