Abstract
Particle density, Nv, or more generally the density of 3-dimensional objects such as grains in polycrystals and pores in sintered materials, is one of the basic structural parameters used in materials science. Methods for estimation of particle density are perceived by a large fraction of the materials science community as complicated and time consuming. The aim of the present paper is to show that the negative perception of procedures for Nv estimation slowly looses its basis due to the progress made in specimen preparation, imaging techniques and dissemination of high power microcomputers.
