Abstract

Against the background of the author’s own research results, an account is given of developments, over the past 30 years, in the use of quantitative methods in optical light and electron microscopy of the liver. The liver is used as an example to show that on top of the generally known methods of stereology additional, quantitative approaches, some of them in combination with each other, are necessary to characterise biological structures. Such approaches have been developed by the author, for example, to determine relationships between cell organelles, on the one hand, and specific bonding on the cell membrane, on the other, with microvilli being an example. Combination of quantitative results with qualitative assessment of cellular components is of decisive importance to cellular research and medical diagnosis, if conclusive findings are to be achieved.
