title: [Serial sections or random sections? Application to the determination of the number of spherical entities in an organ].
abstract: Can sampling with parallel slices replace sampling with randomly oriented slices when one measures the number of spherical objects contained in an organ? A stochastic approach has shown that it is acceptable when the distance between slices is greater than the diameter of the spheres.
