File:KB stain - calculation of same area 2.jpg|thumb|A third area of the same size yields a count of 108 cells, deviating 8 from 100. The standard deviation used is therefore the mean of 6 and 8, which is 7. As per the table, one more area needs to be counted.

File:KB stain - calculation of same area 3.jpg|The third area yields 110 cells. The average number of cells per area is now calculated as the mean of 100, 94, 108 and 110, which is 103.
