Stereology is a branch of applied mathematics used for the three-dimensional analysis of organs and materials from two-dimensional measurements. Stereologic methods are versatile, easily understood, and simply applied. This paper provides anatomists with a practical guide to stereologic techniques and concepts and to ancillary morphometric methods. These methods allow investigators to calculate volume, surface, and numerical densities; make shape determinations; and calculate size distributions for spheres and rotatory ellipsoids. Other topics covered in this article include sampling methods, correction factors for shrinkage and section thickness, index of folding, automated and semiautomated image analysis, and three-dimensional reconstruction from serial sections.
体视学是应用数学的一个分支，用于通过二维测量对器官和材料进行三维分析。体视学方法用途广泛，易于理解且应用简便。本文为解剖学家提供了一份关于体视学技术、概念以及辅助形态测量方法的实用指南。这些方法使研究人员能够计算体积、表面积和数值密度；确定形状；并计算球体和旋转椭球体的尺寸分布。本文涵盖的其他主题包括抽样方法、收缩和切片厚度的校正因子、折叠指数、自动和半自动图像分析以及从连续切片进行三维重建。
