Unbiased Stereology: Online Question and Answer Session with MBF Bioscience
Dr. Dan Peruzzi, stereology educator and staff scientist at MBF Bioscience, will be hosting an online question and answer session on unbiased stereology. Dr. Peruzzi will cover both theoretical and practical aspects regarding the use of unbiased stereology to quantify morphological parameters of tissue observed under a microscope or a slide scanner. Topics will include:
- “First order” properties such as number, length, surface, and volume
- “Second order” properties concerning the relationship among objects
We will be addressing how to use live or acquired images to obtain unbiased estimates. Image modalities will include:
- brightfield
- widefield fluorescence
- confocal
- structured illumination fluorescence
- light-sheet microscopy on cleared tissue
- electron microscopy
- MRI
Some of the research areas that will be addressed during the webinar include: estimating the number of neurons in the hippocampus, the number of cardiac myocytes in the left ventricle of the heart, the length of blood vessels in a tumor, the surface of the maternal-fetal membrane in the placenta, and the volume of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus.
