[Automatic image analysis in the study of the microcirculatory bed]

The authors discuss the possibility of efficient morphometric analysis of capillary architectonics and pathological structural changes in microcirculatory bed with computer systems of image analysis using selective histological staining of microvessels. It is suggested that a histochemical method of alkaline phosphatase identification is used for cerebral, cardiac, adrenal, hepatic, splenal, gastrointestinal, sceletal muscle, testes, urine bladder, serosae and other rat organ capillaries computerized analysis. It is recommended to impregnate the microcirculatory bed of bigger omentum of large laboratory animals according to V. Kupriyanov's method, and to stain the labrocytes of the perivascular loose connective tissue of serious membranes in large laboratory animals with alcohol solution of toluidine blue.
