The measurement of cell volume and surface area by SEM photogrammetry.
The problem of measuring singly the volumes and surface areas of macrophages with their complex and variable morphology was dealt with by the photogrammetric analysis of stereoscopic SEM micrographs. The reproducibility of these measurements was found to be greater than 95%, using the most basic stereophotogrammetric technique.
