Description
Counting chamber McMaster with 3 fields is a precision glass slide for enumerating worm eggs in liquid media. Measuring 127 × 26 mm, the chamber features ground edges and rounded corners for safe handling at the bench. It is supplied with a cover glass carrying three counting grids of approximately 10 × 10 mm each and a chamber depth of about 1,5 mm, enabling standardised volumetric counts. One pair of spring clips is included to hold the cover glass firmly in place during preparation and microscopy. Designed for parasitological and veterinary laboratory workflows, this McMaster-type chamber supports reproducible egg counts in faecal suspensions and similar liquid samples. The open-field layout with three grids allows efficient parallel counting while maintaining the classic McMaster geometry. Manufactured by Marienfeld, the unit is offered as a single piece and integrates readily into routine microscopy setups for quantitative faecal egg analysis and related liquid-media counting applications.

Questions about Counting chambers McMaster with 3 counting areas
What is this article?
Counting chambers McMaster with 3 counting areas is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Marienfeld for laboratory use. It sits in Counting chambers & haemocytometers, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A counting chamber is a slide with a ruled grid of known depth, so cells in a volume can be counted under a microscope. A haemocytometer is that chamber for blood or for cultured cells. The depth and the ruling are the specification. A scratched grid miscounts.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
