Number, length, and diameters of dendritic spines of the granule cell in the dorsal leaf of the rat dentate gyrus were measured by using high‐voltage electron microscope stereo images of 5‐m̈m‐thick Golgi preparations with the aid of a three‐dimensional image analyzer system.Spine densities of 2.02 ± 0.28, 2.28 ± 0.33, and 3.36± 0.35 per 1 μm at distal, middle, and proximal portions of the dendrite were obtained. These values were about 1.6‐fold of the previous light microscopical report.Mean three‐dimensional spine length were 1.244 ± 0.506 μm, 1.262 ± 0.563 μm, and 1.254 ± 0.584 μm at distal, middle, and proximal portions, respectively, which were about 1.4 times longer than those measured in two dimensions.By using measured morphometrical parameters of spines such as lengths, diameters, and population densities, total spine surface areas of 2.401 μm2, 2.806 μm2, and 4.180 μm2per 1 μm of the dendrite at distal, middle, and proximal portions, respectively, were obtained. The total surface area of dendrite was about doubled by the addition of the spines at each dendritic portion.The advantageous features and the problems of the present method are discussed.
