The analysis of distribution of karyometric measurements.
The aim of the work was the analysis of distribution of karyometric measurements for semi- and ultrathin sections. The investigation was performed using spheres (diameter 16.2 mm), which were randomly cut using a microtome knife. The diameters of sections were measured with ocular with accuracy 0.1 mm. It has been shown, that the mean value of the measurements does not correspond to the real value of the spheres' diameter, and it is distinctly lower. The theoretical analysis explaining this fenomenon was performed. The obtained results allow for estimation of real diameter of spherical nuclei of the some size.
