WHAT DOES STEREOLOGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stereology

Stereology is the three-dimensional interpretation of two-dimensional cross sections of materials or tissues. It provides practical techniques for extracting quantitative information about a three-dimensional material from measurements made on two-dimensional planar sections of the material. Stereology is a method that utilizes random, systematic sampling to provide unbiased and quantitative data. It is an important and efficient tool in many applications of microscopy. Stereology is a developing science with many important innovations being developed mainly in Europe. New innovations such as the proportionator continue to make important improvements in the efficiency of stereological procedures. In addition to two-dimensional plane sections, stereology also applies to three-dimensional slabs, one-dimensional probes, projected images, and other kinds of 'sampling'. It is especially useful when the sample has a lower spatial dimension than the original material. Hence, stereology is often defined as the science of estimating higher-dimensional information from lower-dimensional samples. Stereology is based on fundamental principles of geometry and statistics.

Definition of stereology in the English dictionary

The definition of stereology in the dictionary is a branch of science that infers or reconstructs the three-dimensional properties of objects that usually appear two-dimensional.
