Maximum likelihood estimation of parameters of spherical particle size distributions from profile size measurements and its application for small samples
Abstract:Microscopy research often requires recovering particle-size distributions in three dimensions from only a few (10-200) profile measurements in the section. This problem is especially relevant for petrographic and mineralogical studies, where parametric assumptions are reasonable and finding distribution parameters from the microscopic study of small sections is essential. This paper deals with the specific case where particles are approximately spherical (i.e. Wicksell's problem). The paper presents a novel ap… Show more
