The process or technique of measuring and counting red blood cells to determine their quantity in blood samples.
From Greek erythro- (red) + cyto- (cell) + -metry (measurement or process of measuring). This term emerged in clinical medicine as standardized methods for analyzing blood composition developed in the late 1800s.
