This chapter describes how the volume fraction of one phase in relation to either the reference volume or another phase can be estimated from uniform random sections. Volume fraction is a basic and very widely used parameter in both biomedical applications and materials science. The ubiquity of the parameter is indicated by its many names. It is known variously as volume fraction, volume density and porosity.
