Abstract

This commentary aims at presenting, from a practical viewpoint, some key points to assess when implementing image analysis coupled to stereological protocols to quantify statistically the architecture of thermal spray coatings and their relevant features (pores, lamellae, and so forth.). This article is the second of a two-part commentary; the first one, published in Journal of Thermal Spray Technology, Vol 16 (No. 1), 2007, detailed those stereological protocols from a historical perspective.
