Abstract

A system of convex particles distributed in space is characterised by the particle density NV. The intersection of the particle system with a pair of objects (points, parallel lines or parallel planes) separated by a distance λ, is characterised by a pair density function, i.e., the density of pairs of particle intersections as a function of λ. Stereological formulae for NV, related to the pair density functions are given. They form a basis for development of stereological methods for NV-estimation by counting measurements made on parallel sections.
