Abstract

Formulae relating properties of a two-phase structure to properties of a section through that structure are well known in stereology. An exact description of the error introduced into these formulae when the projection of a thick slice is observed rather than a true section (i.e. a slice of zero thickness) is presented for a model of opaque particles distributed according to a homogeneous Poisson point process in En.
