Abstract
Optical micrographs are obtained from illuminating histological specimens cut into sections. Electron micrographs are obtained by the preparation of ultrathin sections and subsequent projection by the electron-optical illumination. Techniques developed in the field of stereology guide us to the way to statistically recover structural information from the pictorial information that is retained in the sectioned and/or projected figures.
