Stereology & Image Analysis
This is an intensive workshop directed to biologists, medical doctors, psychologists, biotechnologists and, in general, to anyone interested in hands-on training on the fundaments and practical applications of Stereology. The students will learn about how to sample and measure bias-free on 3D struct...
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jean-Louis Chermant, former Vice President for Europe (1984-1988) and President of the International Society of Stereology (1988-1991), who died on August 11th, 2024.
During his academic career at Caen University, Jean-Louis Chermant conducted pioneering work on the application of image analysis and mathematical morphology to materials science. His expertise has made a significant impact in the field, particularly through his numerous books and scientific articles. His book, "Précis d'analyse d'image," co-authored with Michel Coster, has become a seminal reference in the field.
Jean-Louis Chermant leaves behind a valuable legacy that will continue to inspire and guide researchers and students. We will remember him not only for his outstanding scientific contributions but also for his dedication and passion for research. Jean-Louis Chermant helped many young scientists at the begining of their research. They remain indebted to him.
Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Career of an anatomist
09 Apr 2024Our member Dr Augusto Coppi appeared in a promotional video for the career of an anatomist at the University of Bristol. The synergy between anatomy and stereology not only enhances our comprehension of normal physiological processes but also advances diagnostic and therapeutic strategies by unravelling intricate 3D spatial relationships within biological systems, guiding targeted interventions for improved health outcomes (Dr. Augusto Coppi).

After 25 years of publishing Unbiased Stereology in paperback, the authors Vyvyan Howard and Matt Reed decided that it is time to make it more widely available. Therefore they have made the 3rd edition of Unbiased Stereology available for free download as a PDF. This is the most recent revision...
The winner of the 2022 Outstanding Paper Award in memory of Hans Jørgen G Gundersen is Anna Pukaluk, the first author of the paper Pukaluk et al. (2022): An ultrastructural 3D reconstruction method for observing the arrangement of collagen fibrils and proteoglycans in the human aortic wall under mechanical load (Acta Biomaterialia 141, 300-314). This is an annual award, intended to recognize best papers containing original work in the field of stereology, which are judged on scientific merit, technical and general quality, expected impact, originality, and relevance to stereology.
