    Two stereology subsampling methods, systematic quadrats (SQ) and systematic area-weighted quadrats (SAWQ), showed similar accuracy and precision for estimating ratios in electron microscopy. The SAWQ method offers practical advantages.

    Area of Science:

    • Stereology
    • Electron Microscopy
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Stereological analysis of materials at high magnification often requires subsampling micrographs.
    • Accurate ratio estimation is crucial for quantitative analysis in materials science.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the cost-effectiveness and accuracy of two subsampling methods: systematic quadrats (SQ) and systematic area-weighted quadrats (SAWQ).
    • To demonstrate the application of stereological formulae for ratio estimation using real electron microscopy data.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of accuracy per unit cost for SQ and SAWQ subsampling techniques.
    • Application of established stereological formulae for ratio estimation at the electron microscopic level.

    Main Results:

    • Estimates of ratios obtained by SQ and SAWQ methods showed agreement in the mean and comparable precision.
    • The SAWQ method demonstrated reliability comparable to the SQ method, with no significant bias.
    • Subsampling had a relatively minor impact on precision in this two-stage sampling context.

    Conclusions:

    • Both SQ and SAWQ methods are reliable for stereological ratio estimation.
    • The SAWQ method presents practical advantages in specific applications.
    • Accurate ratio estimation is achievable with optimized subsampling strategies in electron microscopy.
