[Histonet] WBC counts

[Missy]

Hi all...
We have never done a manual WBC count before and my advisor has asked me to
get a count of WBCs (primarily nuetrophils and lymphocytes) in wright's
stained peripheral blood smears.  What is the general protocol for a manual
count? Do you count WBC's inb relation to RBCs or just WBCs, the whole
slide, or just representative sections?
