[How to measure structures, or new stereology: III. Stereology and electron microscopy]
Abstract:
This review describes modern stereological approaches and methods for estimation of subcellular structures dimensions. These estimators could be used for determination of number- and volume-weighted parameters of particle size. Very often they do not require the application of the disector at the first stage of sampling of images. Additionally, the modified version of the rotator for point counting is demonstrated, which significantly accelerates the morphometric procedure.
