Stereological inference on mean particle shape from vertical sections

Summary It was a major breakthrough when design‐based stereological methods for vertical sections were developed by Adrian Baddeley and coworkers in the 1980s. Most importantly, it shown how to estimate fashion surface area from observations random with uniform position rotation around axis. The great practical importance of these developments is due fact that some biostructures can only be recognised on sections. Later, local estimation mean particle volume developed. In present paper, we review important advances stereology. Quite recently, have gained renewed interest, since has been shape estimated such These new are also reviewed paper.
