Immunohistochemical methods for visualization of capillaries and muscle fibres in thick muscle sections are presented. Applying confocal microscopy and virtual 3D stereological grids, or tracing of capillaries in virtual reality, length of capillaries within a muscle volume or length of capillaries adjacent to a muscle fibre per fibre length, fibre surface area or fibre volume are evaluated and 3D models of capillaries and muscle fibres are produced. The described 3D methodology is applied to the anatomical remodelling of capillarity during acute denervation and early reinnervation in the rat soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles
