In quantitative histology, data is quantified through various metrics. Some common ones include:
Cell Density: The number of cells per unit area or volume of tissue. Staining Intensity: The degree of coloration in histological stains, which can be measured using image analysis software. Cell Size: The dimensions of cells, often measured using digital image analysis. Volume Fraction: The proportion of a tissue's volume occupied by a specific component, such as cells, extracellular matrix, or blood vessels.
