Abstract
This chapter focuses on the stereological principles for morphometry in electron microscopic cytology. Morphometry of the cell serves the purpose of furnishing 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. It is a means that serves the aim of structure-function correlation and derives its justification from the recognition that all orderly function must have an organized structural basis of a size that is adequate but not excessive. The chapter emphasizes on the possibilities of applying morphometric methods to correlative cell biology.
