Stereology is considered the gold standard methodology for unbiased and precise quantification of microscopic biological features of tissues. Yet, researchers are often confused about how to properly design an experiment which effectively and efficiently employs stereology.  This webinar is designed to demystify the core concepts of stereology ( isotropy, systematic random sampling, tissue preparation, bias) to help participants confidently design their next experiment. In this webinar led...

Stereology has many applications from counting cells in the brains of birds at the Animal Cognition Lab at Luther College in Iowa, to estimating cell populations in rat models of dementia in Newfoundland, or counting cells in the brain stems of rats with Huntington's disease across the ocean in the Netherlands. Scientists around the world use stereology to study a range of different types of diseases and disorders, and...
