Q: Separation of mitral cells in olfactory bulb

Does anyone know any values for the mean separation of mitral cell
somata in the olfactory bulbs of rats, rabbits or mice? Alternatively,
the mean surface area of the mitral cell layer?

I am sure the answer to this must be well-known, but I can't find any
values in any of the papers on olfactory bulb anatomy/morphology I've
read.

Additional information I would be glad to have: mean number of
dendrodendritic synapses formed by (i) a single mitral/tufted cell and
(ii) a granule cell.
