platelets!! research methodology

[sathyasai baba]

I am currently working Sts research proposal.
I am supposed to measure platelet size (mean platelet volume), can anyone help me to find out how do they measure it?
Please feel free to suggest any manual or instrumental methods or assay.
I had googled but not able to find practical or relevant methods.
Any researchers out here please do share your knowledge.
Thanks for taking trouble to read this.
P.s.please suggest methods for measuring spontaneous platelet aggregation.

I give it to the lab, they run a CBC, a meaningless value known as "MPV", designed primarily to fluster med students is spit out, I ignore it.
