Quantitative serial sectioning analysis: preview

DeHoff, R. T.·1983·Journal of Microscopy

Abstract

SUMMARY: Quantitative serial sectioning analysis provides all of the geometric information that is available from ordinary stereological analysis. In addition, it circumvents the weaknesses inherent in geometric models that are used to estimate distribution functions and topological properties. It further makes accessible some geometric aspects of microstructures that are not available stereologically, even with model assumptions. At the present state of the art it requires a prodigious effort to prepare and analyse a single sample from a single specimen. However, the current generation of image analysing computers already has the capability for automating data collection and analysis, and there is reasonable potential for automating the sample preparation procedure. Quantitative serial sectioning analysis would render obsolete all of the elegant geometrical probability arguments of stereology. Is it the wave of the future?

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
