First you must obtain an adequate sample of the cells (and their nucleus) which you wish to measure. Once you have the slides you have to methods of measuring: 1.- using a microscope with a graded eyepiece. This requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope. 2.- Capturing digital images of the cell nucleus at a known magrnification and then using a program to measure the diameter of the cell nucleus ( I am currently using the free program IMAGETOOLS to do exactly that!!) This also requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope.This requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope....but in this case the computer program does it for you.
