Hi Mutasem,
we use the Bio-Rad TC10 Cell Counter for Dicty. With counting parameters
correctly adjusted it works very reliably with Dicty cells. The only
drawback is that the counting slides which you need to purchase from
Bio-Rad are rather expensive.
Here in Germany you can test the instrument before purchasing it.
Best wishes
Ludwig
