Popis:	A method for estimating the mean linear intercept length of anisotropic microstructures using vertical sections is presented. A test system of cycloids and points is overlaid on the vertical sections, and the mean linear intercept length is estimated from a simple counting procedure — no length measurements are required. The vertical direction is either arbitrarily chosen or chosen perpendicular to most of the surface boundaries of the objects of interest. A design with the latter choice of the vertical direction and three vertical sections — a trisector — will optimize the precision of the estimate from only three vertical sections. The method was applied to two metallic structures, but it may also be used in a biomedical context.
