Since the time of its discovery (Fontana, 1781; cited by Montgomery, 1898), the nucleolus has been the subject of numerous investigations. The morphology and chemistry of nucleoli, as well as the origin of nucleolar material, have been ably reviewed by Vincent (1955) and by Stich (1956). Although the literature is very extensive, little quantitative data is available regarding the absolute numbers and sizes of nucleoli. Historically, Lebert (1851; cited by Hoffman, 1953) was the first to attempt an assessment of nuclear and nucleolar diameters in animal cells. His measurements of cancer cell nuclei and nucleoli are, however, of little consequence as quantitative information.
