Why are white blood cells in a stained blood smear usually counted at low power under a microscope?

Due to the limited field of vision of microscopes, it is comparatively easier to count the number of white blood cells in a stained blood smear under low power than under high magnification. Although the individual cells would be smaller and thus more difficult to count, there would be more in view at any given time.

What is a differential leukocyte level?
Leukocytes are white blood cells. There are different kinds of leukocytes, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. During a differential leukocyte count, 100 white blood cells are counted on a Wright stained blood smear using a microscope and assigned to one type. The percent of leukocytes that fall into each type can be used to indicate what disease or condition a patient has. An increased number of neutrophils may indicate a bacterial infection. The presence of cancerous cells can also be determined.
