Histopathological sections of the nerves and the method of dimensions and surface area measurement. a Histological section of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (MABCN) shows fascicles number and their arrangement. In this image, you can see 5 fascicles (H&E stain, × 40). b One fascicle (H&E, × 100). c, d Histological section of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LABCN) cross-section (c) and longitudinal section (d), in which you can see two fascicles with their measurements including the maximum diameter of each fascicle, surface area of each fascicle, and total surface area of the nerve in pixels. The microscope camera’s software converts the measurements in to millimeters/millimeters2 (H&E stain, × 40)
