INTERFERENZMIKROSKOPISCHE UNTERSUCHUNGEN AN ZELLEN VERSCHIEDENER HYPOPHYSENADENOME

Abstract

ABSTRACT The dry mass of the cells of a chromophobic, eosinophilic and basophilic adenoma of the pituitary gland is calculated with the use of a Zeiss interference microscope. The dry weights per unit area of the eosinophilic cells are the largest, followed by the chromophobic and the basophilic. The dry weights are compared with the activity of the cells. The errors based on the method are discussed.
