Recent stereological methods for cell biology: a brief survey
Abstract
With the advent of many new tools over the last five years, stereology has become simpler, assumption-free, and more efficient but, at the same time, new terms and concepts have proliferated, which risk overwhelming potential users. The present review is intended to meet the urgent need for a structured classification and evaluation of the newest stereological methods. Being fairly comprehensive, the exposition is necessarily succinct: the reader is referred to selected references for the necessary details and examples.

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.
