Formed elements consist of three things: red blood cells (RBCs/erythrocytes), white blood cells (WBCs/leucocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Further, WBCs have granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils) and agranulocytes (monocytes, lymphocytes) ... In all cases, an automated blood cell counter calculates the number of cells in these areas to see if it is between the ideal range to ensure everything is perfectly fine. Therefore, an automated blood cell counter or hematology analyzer is a machine that automatically counts the blood cells from the given sample of blood and displays the count as a result.
