Practical methods for biological morphometry

This is the first textbook dealing with stereological methods that puts the emphasis on practical versus theoretical stereology, on its use in biology versus in materials sciences and on sampling…
Morphometry of the human pulmonary acinus
- B. Haefeli‐Bleuer, E. Weibel
- BiologyThe Anatomical Record
- 1 April 1988
The morphometric data collected in this study are used to construct an idealized model of human acinar airways that can be related to existing models of the human bronchial tree.

PRACTICAL STEREOLOGICAL METHODS FOR MORPHOMETRIC CYTOLOGY
- E. Weibel, G. Kistler, W. Scherle
- Materials ScienceJournal of Cell Biology
- 1 July 1966
Some principles which allow the estimation of volumetric ratios, surface areas, surface-to-volume ratios, thicknesses of tissue or cell sheets, and the number of structures are reviewed and presented in general form.
The concept of symmorphosis: a testable hypothesis of structure-function relationship.
- E. Weibel, C. R. Taylor, H. Hoppeler
- MedicineProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 15 November 1991
The study of allometric and adaptive variation leads to the conclusion that the hypothesis of symmorphosis is acceptable for all internal compartments of the respiratory system, whereas it must be refuted for the lung that forms the interface to the environment.
Endurance training in humans: aerobic capacity and structure of skeletal muscle.
- H. Hoppeler, H. Howald, E. Weibel
- BiologyJournal of applied physiology
- 1 August 1985
Results indicate that despite disparate relative changes the absolute change in aerobic capacity at the local level (maintained power) can account for the increase in aerobic Capacity observed at the general level (VO2max).
Exercise-induced maximal metabolic rate scales with muscle aerobic capacity
- E. Weibel, H. Hoppeler
- BiologyJournal of Experimental Biology
- 1 May 2005
The allometric variation of maximal metabolic rate is directly related to the scaling of the total effective surfaces of mitochondria and capillaries, thus confirming the basic conjecture of the second fractal models but refuting the arguments for 3/4 power scaling.
