Abstract

A class of estimators for the internal structure of a specimen is introduced. It uses measurements on those features hit by a random line section. The estimators are unbiased and are compared with the usual stereological estimators. Methods of reducing their standard errors through the use of alternative methods of selecting the random line section, through independent repetitions, through serial sectioning and lattice test systems are considered.

The theory applies also to the line intercept sampling of features in a 2-d specimen and to the plane section sampling of features of a 3-d specimen.
