Counting and sizing cells - (Feb/20/2006 )

hi?

Can somebody help me with detailed information about counting and sizing cells?
I would like to count the adipose cells in adipose tissue of rats and also to determine their size.
I heard about the possibility to do a osmiumtetroxide fixation and to count by coulter counter.
Has somebody experience, or better suggestions?

Try PubMed

The first link should go to the full article. (tried to attach it, but it wouldn't stick).

Coulter counters are fun and easy to use.
