Abstract
A new software package for stereology, based on the inexpensive MS DOS (PC DOS) computing environment is described. STEPone is an interactive program with on-line HELP facilities. Raw data (in the form of raw counts obtained with possibly different test systems) can be entered at the keyboard into basic compartments. The user can then define and obtain ratios of linear combinations (with unit coefficients) of the basic compartment variables. The design can be structured into strata, sections and quadrats, and it uses updated statistics. The acquisition of raw data by manual methods is not essential to the program.
Keywords : image analysis, manual methods, MS DOS, point counting, quadrat, ratio estimation, sampling design, section, software package, stereology, stratification, test system
