Lung stereology

[Nicksa, Grace]

Is there a particular software I should download from Image J that will
calculate lung parenchyma volume, airspace volume, and alveolar volume?

I am trying to calculate total alveolar number from H&E slides. If anyone
has suggestions or a better interpretation of Dunnill's modification of
Gomez and Weibel's equations that would be very helpful.

I dont have any idea but probably following article and link may help you out



Yolanda Garcia et al., Stereological methods to assess tissue response
for tissue-engineered scaffolds.
