Abstract
Recent design-based stereological methods for measuring stomatal frequency, mean epidermal cell length, number of mesophyll cells and mean cell volume are described in an easy-to-follow manner. Two leaf types are considered: grass leaf and bifacial leaf. The presented methods are discussed and compared with alternative methods.Keywords
