The link between microstructure and material properties (also known as structure-property correlation) is widely understood. The well-known Hall-Petch equation for single-phase polycrystalline materials is s=so+Kd-1/2, where s is the flow stress, d is the grain size, and so and K are constants. Microstructural studies are often done on 2-dimensional sections (or planes of polish) that cut through a material's 3-dimensional structure.

Many approaches have been devised to extract 3-dimensional structural characteristics from measurements taken on the polish plane. Stereology is the field that encompasses these techniques.
