Stereology with cylinder probes
Abstract
Intersection formulae of Croton type for general geometric probes are well known in integral geometry. For the special case of cylinders with non necessarily convex direktrix, however, no equivalent formula seems to exist in the literature. We derive such formula resorting to motion invariant probability elements associated with test systems, instead of using a traditional approach. Because cylinders are seldom used as probes in stereological practice, however, this note is mainly of a theoretical nature.
