| | > | | | evaluation of air space expansion and tissue destruction in vertical anisotropic tissue sections. |
| | > | | | quantitative analysis of structural dimensions: |
| | > | | | circumference (perimeter) |
| | > | | | extent and distribution of abnormalities (e.g. collagen) |
| | > | | | morphological dimensions (e.g. airspaces, airway and vessel walls) |
| | > | | | extrapolation of 2-dimenional surface density or 3-dimensional structure |
| | > | | | volume density by 2-dimensional point count |
| | > | | | linear frequency rates: counts of events per unit distance (e.g. cells per mm/basal lamina) |
