Efficient estimation of number density in opaque material microstructures: the large-area disector.
Unbiased and efficient estimation of number density of features in opaque material microstructures has been quite difficult. In this contribution a montage-based efficient serial sectioning technique is presented as a practical solution for efficient estimation of number density in such microstructures. The new technique utilizes a combination of digital image analysis and unbiased disector sampling procedures.
