Abstract

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of the human cerebellar cortex, from the histomorphometric point of view, was carried out from January to September, 2015, using the digital holographic microscopy installed in the Digital Holography Department of Oriente University inSantiago de Cuba, aimed at making measurings that allowed to establish comparisons with other studies.  The calculations showed the thickness of the molecular and granular layers, the area, perimeter, greatest and smallest diameters of the body and Purkinje cells nucleus.  Also, holographic images in three dimensions were taken, that facilitated to conclude the existence of certain parameters by means of this procedure, those that had not been notified and are of interest in the histological study of the cerebellar cortex.
