Summary
The
STESYS2 software is a new version of the IBM PC
software supporting interactive stereological
measurements. In comparison with the previous STESYS, it is enhanced by a number of useful
options, e.g. on-line image input via a TV camera
coupled with a microscope operating under MS
Windows OS. The main advantage, when compared
with other such software packages, is the design
of the STESYS2 as a module of the freeware image
processing system Image Tool which provides a
user-friendly environment including a number of
image processing and preprocessing routines.
Capabilities of the STESYS2 are illustrated by a
practical example: estimation of the surface area
of capillaries in the terminal villi of human
placenta by the Sandau spatial grid method.
