The Stereological Analysis of Two-Phase Particles

  • Conference paper
Geometrical Probability and Biological Structures: Buffon’s 200th Anniversary

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Biomathematics ((LNBM,volume 23))

Summary

Three stages in the stereological analysis of two-phase particles are identified. These are illustrated by (a) random probes and sections through a sphere with a spherical nucleus, (b) random probes through discs with a chord as phase interface, and (c) random probes and sections through a population of right cylinders with convex cross-sections and perpendicular cross-section phase interfaces.
