During the workshop, there will be ample opportunity for discussions with the instructors.

Participants should bring their specific projects and questions. It can be concluded from this study that quantitative analyses are useful. light microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, multi-photon microscopy, electron microscopy) as well as non-invasive scanning techniques like CT and NMR are welcome. Stereology and morphometry of steatosis in human alcoholic (ALD) and non. Applications involving any kind of microscopy (e.g. Post-mortem diagnosis of PPID in horses is possible, by determination of pituitary weight and by demonstration of PIC hyperplasia, using quantitative stereological methods, which suggests that different growth processes are responsible for adenoma formation. This workshop is intended for students and researchers from the field of biology and medicine interested in sampling and measurement of 3D structures. The workshop encompasses lectures, classroom exercises with real biomedical images, and laboratory practicals demonstrating the implementation of proper sampling and processing techniques on real biological organs. .the stereology in materials science, in particular in metallography, where on the basis of being etched sections a quantitative description of the. Histomorphometrics and quantitative unbiased stereology in canine uteri treated with medroxyprogesterone acetate P. Experimental design, sampling, use of stereological probes, estimation of stereological parameters, and the application of statistical methods appropriate for stereology are covered.

This workshop provides an introduction to state-of-the-art stereology with emphasis on its practical application in biomedicine.
