[Histonet] histomorphometry - clarified

[louise renton]

Dear all,

just to clarify issues here - i have a histomorphometry analysis system -a
very nice one, and  i sort of know how to use it - what i DON'T know is what
sort of measurements i should be doing. So thanks to all who suggested
systems, i'm sorry if my initial e-mail was not all that clear.

further commentary on WHAT to measure and what parametres are useful will be
welcomed

best regards
