Several strategies can be employed to improve the accuracy of manual counting: - Training: Proper training and experience are crucial for histologists to accurately identify and count cells. - Standardization: Implementing standardized protocols and criteria for counting can reduce variability. - Double-Checking: Having multiple observers count the same sample and comparing results can help identify discrepancies. - Use of Counting Aids: Tools such as grid overlays, counting chambers, and tally counters can aid in maintaining accuracy.
