islet area on H&E slide

[Creas]

Dear Sir,

I am a PhD student and I am trying to determine the size of each individual islet on a pancreas slide stained with H&E.  I wonder how should I do this as both the acinar and islets are stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and the adjacent blood vessels are also stained the same color as islets.

Please find below example of my slides.

Thank you.

Hi,

do you have the possibility of staining for insulin and/or glucagon instead?

For examples and details, see

Best regards,

Dear Professor Schechinger,

Thank you very much for your advice.
Unfortunately I have already cut all my tissues and do not have any spare slides for insulin/glucagon counter stain.  I have another set of slides stained with insulin only.

Thank you.

Regards,
Creas

Unless you have thousands of slides, just set the scale globally,
trace each islet and measure.  Sometimes manual labor is faster than
writing an automated routine, especially if you are only going to need
to do the analysis a few times.
