Product Description
The Advanced Methods series is intented for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and established research scientists. Titles in the series are designed to cover current important areas of research in life sciences, and include both theoretical background and detailed protocols. The aim is to give researchers sufficient theory, supported by references, to take the given protocols and adapt them to their particular experimental systems.Unbiased Stereology, Second Edition expands the comprehensive practical first edition guide to 3-D measurements in microscopy using stereological methods by adding a section on 2-D stereology, or "Petri-metrics". There is also an additional chapter on single-object stereology, which permits the measurement of total volume, surface and feature length of single arbitrary objects. The book is intended to lead the reader logically through a self-teaching course, with illustrative exercises at each stage. The techniques described have become benchmark methods in toxicology and neuroscience; the use of inferior methods often leading to missed or spurious results. |

Extremely useful for all interested in true quantification by Friedrich A. Bahmer (fbahmer@t-online.de (Bremen, Germany)  5 Stars
February 01, 1999
This is an excellent book for all those interested in true quantification of tissue elements. Here, methods are outlined, amply illustrated and put forward in the form of exercises making it a pleasure even for the novice reader to get an understanding of what stereology is and what it is for. Now, the day seems near when researchers report their results on quantitative tissue features based on stereological estimation procedures. Highly recommended for serious morphologists.

| Principles and Practices of Unbiased Stereology: An Introduction for Bioscientists
by Peter R. Mouton (Author)
Beginning in the 1960s, scientists across a wide range of disciplines cooperated in developing unbiased—or assumption free—stereology, based on stochastic geometry and probability theory, as a way to estimate the parameters of irregularly shaped objects without introducing bias. In recent years these new estimation techniques, which were originally quite painstaking and time consuming, have made a great deal of headway in disciplines such as neuroscience, thanks in part to the development...

| Stereology for Biological Research with a Focus on Neuroscience
by Jack Glaser (Author), Geoff Greene (Author), Susan Hendricks (Author)
Design-based stereology is the standard methodology for quantitative histology because it is particularly useful for the identification of subtle yet important alterations in the morphology of the nervous system during development or disease. MBF Bioscience has been in the business of stereology for more than ten years since the creation of Stereo Investigator, the most advanced and full-featured stereology package available.
MBF continues to take an active role in assisting researchers...

| Immunohistochemistry: Methods Express Series (Methods Express)
by Simon Renshaw (Author)
Immunohistochemistry has long been a cornerstone technique in biomedical research, but there have been major new developments in recent years, including a growing trend towards automation and high throughput technology. These new techniques, often coupled with some of the established methodology, have seen an expanding range of applications. Immunohistochemistry: Methods Express is a comprehensive research guide that describes both the key new techniques and more established methods. Every...

| Practical Stereology
by John C. Russ (Author)
Stereology is the science that relates three-dimensional structure to the two-dimensional images that can be measured. The most common field of application is in microscopy, both of man-made materials (metals, ceramics, composites, etc.) and of biological tissue samples. This book covers the applications and terminology of both fields. Recent emphasis in stereology is concerned with sampling strategies to avoid bias due to directionality and non-uniformity, and these methods are fully...
