Summary We compare 2 methods (‘planar’ and stereological) for quantifying different types of synapse on the surface of spinal motoneurons. Stereological results suggest that the planar approach — wholly confined to counting synapses visible on electron micrographs — can produce valid data. Stereological results are also compared with estimates obtained by other techniques (light microscopy and serial microreconstruction).
