* † Greenson ''et al.'' says ''>2 lymphocytes/HPF, where 5 HPF are sampled''. Since the sample area given by Greenson ''et al.'' is 0.94 mm<sup>2</sup>, their field diameter is ~ 0.489 mm and corresponds to ~ 20 mm eye piece.
**Many microscopes in use today have a field diameter at 40x of ~ 0.55 mm; thus, 4 fields would be approximately 0.95 mm<sup>2</sup>.
