Microscopic fat cellsize measurements on frozen-cut adipose tissue in comparison with automatic determinations of osmium-fixed fat cells

Diameters of fat cells in adipose tissue slices, floating in an isoosmolar solution, were measured under a microscope. The slices were obtained from percutaneous biopsies by freeze-cutting after brief formaldehyde fixation. All cells in a given part of the slice were measured, thus avoiding selectio...
