“…The combination of lung stereology and advanced 3D imaging methods has been reviewed recently [ 22 ]. Maybe you even become interested in the history of stereology [ 8 , 47 ] and some of the pioneers of biomedical stereology like Ewald Weibel [ 26 , 36 ] and Hans Jørgen Gundersen [ 3 , 46 ].…”

The intention of this short primer is to raise your appetite for proper quantitative assessment of lung micro-structure. The method of choice for obtaining such data is stereology. Rooted in stochastic geometry, stereology provides simple and efficient tools to obtain quantitative three-dimensional information based on measurements on nearly two-dimensional microscopic sections. In this primer, the basic concepts of stereology and its application to the lung are introduced step by step along the workflow of a stereological study. The integration of stereology in your laboratory work will help to improve its quality. In a broader context, stereology may also be seen as a contribution to good scientific practice.

“…When I entered the field of lung stereology, the basic characterization of lung structure had been established by Ewald Weibel, in particular estimates of subcompartment volumes, alveolar and capillary surface areas, blood air barrier thickness and, derived from that, lung diffusion capacity (for historic review of Ewald Weibel´s work, see 2020). But one important parameter was missing: alveolar number.…”

Professor Hans Jørgen G. Gundersen MD, DMSc (1943–2021) was a pioneering stereologist whose work has inspired and influenced researchers across the world for almost half a century. He was a charismatic character and one of the founding fathers of modern stereology, whose achievements and contributions are fondly remembered below by colleagues and co-workers. It was an enormous pleasure to be in his company and although future generation will miss this opportunity, his work will live on, to inspire and influence future generations of researchers.

“…Although neither anatomy nor the lung had been his first choice, he became a giant in lung anatomy, physiology, and cell biology (for details of his way into science and pulmonary research see Refs. 3,4). Ewald Weibel made groundbreaking contributions to the field of lung physiology at various levels, but in particular, by pioneering the comprehensive quantitative analysis of lung architecture within a functional context from the systemic to the subcellular level.…”
