Stereology is the science that relates three-dimensional structure
to the two-dimensional images that can be measured. The most common
field of application is in microscopy, both of man-made materials
(metals, ceramics, composites, etc.) and of biological tissue
samples. This book covers the applications and terminology of both
fields. Recent emphasis in stereology is concerned with sampling
strategies to avoid bias due to directionality and non-uniformity,
and these methods are fully covered. So are the classic techniques
that measure size distributions, surface curvature, etc., which are
widely useful but not discussed in other recent texts. Finally,
most stereology is taught as manual procedures using counting and
grids, but this text also covers the use of modern desktop
computers for image analysis and processing to obtain and interpret
the stereological data.
