Abstract
Simple photomicrography and projection equipment are described for a convenient method
of enumerating Ashby or total red cell counts from photographs of hemocytometer spreads
of red cells. No additional source of error is introduced by enumerating free cells
from photographs. The various advantages of this method of counting are listed.

☆☆The idea of using photographs for enumerating Ashby counts was originally suggested to us by Dr. William Thalhimer of Valhalla, N. Y. Recently, Dr. Thalhimer stated in a personal communication to the author that since making this suggestion to us he has also developed a successful photographic technique for enumerating Ashby counts. The use of photographs for enumerating total red cell counts has been described previously. 1
