Abstract

Two kinds of parameters are accessible by histological morphometric methods: --actual quantitative ones (e.g. length, area) --discontinuous ones (e.g. cells, nucleus or mitochondrium counting). Measures were all achieved by manual methods in past. Nowadays, apparatus are existing that can solve semi-automatically histomorphometric problems. These apparatus are variously named digitizer, digitizing table, digitalizing table, graphic table and so on. Two histomorphometric examples are described one concerning breast carcinoma the other myocardial vascularization in rats. They both have been treated on a graphic table. Problems and their solutions are developed.
