6. There is also a tendency for sectioning larger particles with a higher probability; thus smaller particles tend to be missed. Corrections for this effect can be made when the particles are spherical. Cf. Weibel, E. R. Stereological Methods, Vol 2: Theoretical Foundations Academic Press: New York, 1980.
