title: A note on stereological estimation of the volume-weighted second moment of particle volume.
abstract: It is shown that for a variety of biological particle shapes, the volume-weighted second moment of particle volume can be estimated stereologically using only the areas of particle transects, which can be estimated manually by point-counting.
