| Method | "The mean megakaryocyte volume was 4700µm^3±100(see Comments section below) giving a total megakaryocyte mass in normal subjects of 2.8?10^10µm^3/kg ±0.3." |
| Comments | "This value was obtained in Zenker's formaldehyde-fixed sections which produced about 25% shrinkage in diameter. The volume estimate, therefore, is relative only and does not represent an absolute measurement of megakaryocyte volume in vivo." |
