Abstract

No other stereological problem but that of estimating the sphere size distribution from the profile distribution observed in a single section has been shown on so many occasions to be statistically ill-posed. In this paper, we reconsider the corpuscle problem and suggest a direct solution based on local spatial information. The key tool is the disector which uses information from two parallel sections simultaneously.

Keywords : corpuscle problem, disector, particles, spheres, systematic sampling
