Gensei

Abstract

gensei = generator of serial images, or a karate style (gen = mysterious, sei = control, system), meaning that the methods of quantitative histology (or stereology) are a mysterious process for me :) The purpose of gensei is to have a simple, open source tool to generate images of slices of a volume filled with objects (e.g. ellipsoids) with known statistical and other properties (e.g. total volume, volume fractions, number of objects), to verify information obtained by the stereological methods.
