[Histonet] External diameter of large vein

[Tony Henwood]

What I would do is scan the slide using a routine document scanner
fitted with a back light (used to scan 35mm slides). Include a ruler in
the scan. Print out the image and measure.

Dear All,
How can the external diameter of large vein like renal vein be measured
on 
slide under light microscope?
     As the vein is large and measures several millimeters the
micrometer 
scale cannot be used. we also do not want to measure grossly using a
venire 
calipre. Our aim is to measure the vertical, oblique and transverse
external 
diameter on the slide through microscope. Please also give the reference
of 
the method.

Thanks
