A quantitative method to assess mutual orientation of cells in cultures on a substrate includes the following operations: (1) the cellular groups to be evaluated are chosen; (2) position of the long axis for each nucleus of the group is determined; (3) the axis OX is arbitrary chosen for every group and the angles alphai between the long axis of every nucleus i and the axis OX are measured. Every nucleus i corresponds to a vector of unit length ei with the angles 2alpha. D, the mean of the vectors ei for every cell group is calculated. This value of D is compared with a set of values of D computed according to a model of mutual orientation studies in a simulation experiment. In this model the group of n vectors consists of a fraction of Kn parallel vectors (o less than or equal to K less than or equal to I) and of (I minus K)n randomly oriented vectors. K corresponding to the computed D which is equal to the experimental value of D is considered as an index of orientation for the group. Contact orientation with respect to the relief of the substrate may be evaluated as a root mean square deviation sigma0 to the angles between the long axes of cell nuclei and the direction of relief. Examples of the measurements of K and sigma0 in cell cultures are given.
