What are Common Measurement Techniques in Histology?
Several measurement techniques are commonly used in histology:
1. Micrometry: This involves using a calibrated eyepiece reticle to measure the dimensions of tissue structures. 2. Stereology: A set of mathematical methods used to estimate three-dimensional characteristics from two-dimensional tissue sections. 3. Image Analysis Software: Computer programs that can automatically measure and analyze histological images. 4. Fluorescence Microscopy: This technique uses fluorescent dyes to label and measure specific components within tissues.
