Cavalieri Estimator

Purpose

Use this probe for a quick and efficient estimation of the area and/or volume of a region of interest.

Stereo Investigator overlays a regular grid of points on the slide/image; you will mark the points in the grid that lie over the region of interest.

Volume of a structure = Total number of points marked * Distance between points in XY * Distance between points in Z
