The International Society for Stereology organizes the Second International Con gress for Stereology which is to be held in Chicago, Illinois, from April 8 to 13, 1967.All scientists interested in theory or applications of methods of stereology and morphometry are invited to participate in this meeting.Problems of quantitative study of three-dimensional structures by means of sec tions occur in practically all morphological sciences, as well in life sciences as in earth and material sciences.Even in astronomy related problems exist.The First Congress for Stereology, held in Vienna in 1963, has shown that extensive mutual stimulation evolves from contacts thus established across the boundaries of scientific disciplines.This second congress should therefore again gather workers from all fields of science, who are faced with the problem of interpreting sections through unknown structures in terms of spatial relationships.The program includes ten sessions in which the following topics shall be dealt with: quantitative evaluation of sectioned material, measuring devices, shape de termination, 9ize distribution and number of structures, sampling and statistics, orientation of structures, stereology and topology, as well as applications to specific problems.Each topic will be introduced by an invited survey lecture followed by contributed papers related to the topic.
