Abstract
A METHOD for determining the thickness of microtome sections with the same accuracy as the rest of the analytical procedure has long been required in quantitative cytochemistry. Hitherto this has not been possible, and it has generally been necessary to estimate thickness from the microtome setting, a rather unsatisfactory method.
