Morphometry of monocytes of human blood.
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.
