title: Morphometry of monocytes of human blood.
abstract: Morphometric methods have been used to analyse the ultrastructural characteristics of human blood monocytes in 20 normal adults. Data were obtained relating to whole cell, nucleus and mitochondria and, using a method not previously applied to blood cells, for the distribution of heterochromatin and euchromatin. The results provide a normal baseline against which monocyte changes in disease can be assessed.
