A counting chamber utilized in manual microscopic methods is called a?

  1. Microtometer

  2. Cytometer

  3. Hemacytometer

  4. Spectrometer

The correct answer is: Hemacytometer

A Microtometer is incorrect because it is not a commonly used term in the field of microscopy. It is more commonly referred to as a micrometer, which is a device used for measuring small distances. B: Cytometer is incorrect because it is a general term used to describe any instrument used for cell counting, but it is not specific to manual microscopic methods. D: Spectrometer is incorrect because it is used for analyzing the composition of samples using light, not for counting cells. A hemacytometer, on the other hand, is specifically designed for manual cell counting under a microscope.
