quantitative information on cellular fine structure with the aim of allowing quantitative
correlation of biochemical or physiological data with morphological data obtained on
structurally intact cells. the morphometric approach to cytology is not a purpose in itself,
although admirable dimensional equilibria can be revealed which satisfy the esthetic needs …
