Determination of local variation of the thickness of the capillary basement membrane of the human placenta at term by a morphometric method.
Material was taken from exactly determined sites on five placentas to determine local variation of the thickness of the capillary basement membrane in the normal human placenta at term. The thickness of the capillary basement membrane was determined in electron micrographs by a morphometric method and the resultant values were processed statistically. The results and the method are both discussed.
