Answer»

The correct option is (d) 1:50000

Easiest EXPLANATION: The method is based on collecting scattered light from the blood CELLS and converting them into electrical pulses for COUNTING. A sample of dilute blood (1:500 for white cells and 1:50,000 for red cells) is taken in a GLASS container. It is drawn through a counting CHAMBER in which the blood stream is reduced in cross-section by a concentric high velocity liquid sheath.
