Several techniques are employed for quantitative histology, including:
Image Analysis Software: Tools like ImageJ and MATLAB help in analyzing microscopic images for cell counting, area measurement, and intensity quantification. Stereology: A set of mathematical techniques used to extrapolate three-dimensional information from two-dimensional tissue sections. Digital Pathology: Involves the use of digital slides and algorithms to assess tissue quantitatively. Flow Cytometry: Allows for the quantification of specific cell populations based on fluorescent markers.
