Definition:An instrument used for manual, microscopic counting of cells in suspension and consisting of a glass microscope slide with a rectangular indentation that creates a chamber. The chamber is engraved with a precise laser-etched grid of perpendicular lines and the depth of the chamber is standardized so that the volume of fluid and cells contained within a grid square and between the slide and the cover glass is known, allowing a count per volume to be determined.
