The authors derive a formula for the Euler characteristic of a domain \(D\) with boundary lying on a smooth oriented surface in 3-space. They show that - for a generic direction \(u\) - the Euler characteristic can be obtained by summing certain indices of intersection for all points of first order contact of \(D\) and its boundary with the planes normal to \(u\).
