title: Quantitation of megakaryocytes in normal bone marrow.
abstract: A quantitation of megakaryocytes in normal bone marrow biopsies was performed using a simple direct method of counting. In bone marrow biopsies having a mean cellularity of 72% (range of 60% to 85%), the mean number of megakaryocytes per high-power field (450 X) was 1.5 (range of 0.4 to 2.7).
