[Quantitative estimation of the lymphatic bed density of film preparations (of organ membranes) using the luxometry (photometry) method].

The essence of the luxmetry technique is that we can make a conclusion of the density of lymph capillaries per a unit of the serous or other membrane on the basis of the difference in illumination of the microscope field with a cleared preparation without injection of lymph vessels and the preparation where the lymphatic network is injected with the Gerota's mass absorbing a part of light. With the help of the above method of luxmetry we can obtain new data about local and developmental changes in the density of lymph capillaries of the abdomen, epicardium, submucous basement of the sigmoid colon and skin as well as in some functional (pregnancy) and pathological states.
