    FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 3.1.1 COUNTING CHAMBER WITH ELECTRODES AND MEASURING APERTURE Impedance method is used for determination of volume and number of cells. In this method a known volume of dilution is drawn through a small aperture. Constant current is passed through the aperture from one side to the other. When a cell passes through the aperture, it causes a change in resistance, which generates a voltage pulse.
