Reproducibility in Nerve Morphometry: Comparison between Methods and among Observers

Figure 4

Size distribution of myelinated fibers (a) and respective axons (b) of the proximal segment of the right sural nerve of young (90-days-old) female Wistar rats, obtained by three different observers, using the semiautomated method. Note that myelinated fibers distributions are bimodal while axon distributions are unimodal, with a complete superposition of the distributions obtained by the observers.
