Structures and stereological test probes. The intersection of stereological test probes with the structure of interest provides countable events: test point counts for volumes, test line intersection counts for surfaces, test plane transect counts for length estimation and test volume object counts for number estimation. Note that the sum of the dimension of the test probe and the structure always equals 3. Figure adapted from [96]
