[Types of error and error propagation in morphometry].
It is in morphometry, too, that errors of measurement are liable to occur. This paper shows the types of error involved and how they may propagate when the primary measuring data are used for the calculation of further quantities of interest. Finally, there is shown the relation of inaccuracies due to measuring errors to the uncertainties of a particular result which have their origin in biological variability. The examples furnished have been taken from histological volumetry using the target method, from karyometry, and from osteometry.
