A new ocular network of the light microscope and the method of its application for histometric investigation of hepatocytes, and microcirculatory bed of the liver lobe based on the morphofunctional peculiarities of peripheral and central lobular zones are described. Histometry of biopsy material from the dog liver has demonstrated that with a smaller volume of sinusoids in normal animals, the nuclear-cytoplasmic hepatocyte ratio was greater in the peripheral than in the central lobular zones.
