4 Review Organs, Tissues, Cells, Organelles are 3-Dimensional Objects

5 Review 3-D 2-D

6 Review 3-D 2-D 1. Tissues develop as 3-D objects 2. Tissues mature as 3-D objects 3. Tissues function as 3-D objects 4. Tissues react to treatment as 3-D objects 5. Disease is a 3-D process Think 3-D

7 Review 3-D 2-D Stereology

8 Review Stereology is founded on: 1. Geometrical probability 2. Statistics

9 Review Geometrical Probability

10 Review Stereology Parameters (geometrical structural characteristic) Volume 3-D Surface 2-D Length 1-D Number 0-D

11 Review Statistics When you do an experiment you would like to learn the true value of some parameter in a population Must take a sample When you take a sample you cannot know the Truth, You make estimates of the Truth

12 Review Statistics Estimates have two properties: Accuracy: The degree of closeness of a measurement to the true value. Precision: The degree to which repeated measurements have the same value

13 Measurement of Volume

14 Volume of Rectangular Prism

15 Volume of Rectangular Prism Volume = H x Area

16 Volume of Cylinder

17 Volume of Cylinder Volume = H x area

18 Arbitrarily Shaped Object

19 Measurement of Volume of Arbitrarily Shape Objects: Cavalieri Principle -Italian mathematician and monk AD

20 Cavalieri Principle unbiased estimate Volume = H x Area

21 Cavalieri Principle unbiased estimate Volume = H x Area

22 Cavalieri Principle If you estimate the volume with 1 random section -Unbiased (Accurate) estimate -Not Precise estimate

23 Cavalieri Principle unbiased estimate Volume = h x Areas

24 Cavalieri Principle Estimate volume with several sections with random start -Unbiased (Accurate) estimate -Precise estimate

25 Cavalieri Principle Must be able to measure: 1. h 2. Areas

26 Cavalieri Principle 1. Measuring h A) Tissue Slicer

35 Cavalieri Principle

36 Cavalieri Principle Cortex Volume = h x Areas Cortex Volume = h x (area of 1 point) x points Cortex Volume = 4 mm x 9 mm 2 x 100 points Cortex Volume = 3600 mm 3

37 Cavalieri Principle

38 Cavalieri Principle Design a study to measure volume of mouse glomerulus 1. Must know the approximate height (H) of the object perpendicular to the sectioning plane. If possible make sectioning plane perpendicular to the shortest possible H.

39 Cavalieri Principle Design a study to measure volume of mouse glomerulus 2. If your object is regular divide H by 6. This is the approximate number of sections through the object. Mouse glomerulus is approximately 60 µm in diameter.

40 57 µm 47 µm 37 µm Cavalieri Principle 7 µm 17 µm 27 µm

41 Cavalieri Principle 3. You want to count a total of grid points on all profiles from an object. Divide 200 by 6-approximately points/profile

42 Cavalieri Principle 7 µm 17 µm 27 µm 57 µm 47 µm 37 µm

43 Cavalieri Principle 7 µm 17 µm 27 µm 57 µm 47 µm 37 µm

46 57 µm 47 µm 37 µm Cavalieri Principle 7 µm 17 µm 27 µm

47 57 µm 47 µm 37 µm Cavalieri Principle 7 µm 17 µm 27 µm

48 Cavalieri Principle Volume = h x areas

49 Cavalieri Principle Volume = h x areas Volume = h x (area 1 point x points )

50 Cavalieri Principle Volume = h x areas Volume = h x (area 1 point x points ) Volume = h x [(d/mag) 2 x points]

51 Cavalieri Principle Volume = h x areas Volume = h x (area 1 point x points ) Volume = h x [(d/mag) 2 x points] Volume = 10 µm x [(10,000µm/1,000) 2 x 150]

52 Cavalieri Principle Volume = h x areas Volume = h x (area 1 point x points ) Volume = h x [(d/mag) 2 x points] Volume = 10 µm x [(10,000µm/1,000) 2 x 150] Volume = 150,000 µm 3

53 Cavalieri Principle unbiased estimate Volume = h x Areas
