Stereology & Image Analysis
The winner of the 2021 Outstanding Paper Award in memory of Hans Jørgen G Gundersen is Nick Yao Larsen, the first author of the paper Larsen et al. (2021): Cellular 3D-reconstruction and analysis in the human cerebral cortex using automatic serial sections (Communications Biology 4, 1-15). This is the first instance of the 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.
The International Society for Stereology and Image Analysis (ISSIA) organizes a PhD competition intended to recognize a PhD conducted in the area of stereology and/or image analysis. The competition is open to PhD students who defended their thesis after September 1st 2019. In addition, it is requ...
This is an intensive workshop directed to biologists, medical doctors, psychologists, biotechnologists and, in general, for 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 struc...

Professor Hans Jørgen G. Gundersen MD, DMSc (1943–2021) was a pioneering stereologist whose work has inspired and influenced researchers across the world for almost half a century. He was a charismatic character and one of the founding fathers of modern stereology, whose achievements and contributio...
The 13th European Congress for Stereology and Image Analysis finished last week. We would like to thank the local organizing committee for successfully completing a virtual conference and all the speakers for excellent presentations. The ISSIA General Assembly was held during the conference, where the members discussed society's activities and approved new board members and honorary members. The new honorary member is Lucie Kubinova, for all her dedication to society and efforts in establishing the new ISSIA society. The new members of the ISSIA Board are Johan Debayle and Dvoralai Wulfsohn. We want to congratulate the new members that will contribute significantly to the activities of ISSIA!
Dominique Jeulin published a book Morphological Models of Random Structures that covers methods of Mathematical Morphology to model and simulate random sets and functions (scalar and multivariate). The introduced models concern many physical situations in heterogeneous media, where a probabilistic...
