Chinese Society for Stereology (CSS), a national first-class professional society established in 1987 and directly managed by CAST, is an academic, national, and non-profitable social organization voluntarily founded by Chinese scientific and technological researchers and related units engaged in stereology and related disciplines. Prof. ZHANG Wenqi and Prof. LI Jingbo, Former Presidents of USTB, were elected as the president of the first CSS council successively. The methods and principles of stereology have been mainly used to obtain quantitative characteristics and accurate visual description of the solid structure or three-dimensional (or n-dimensional) geometric structure and have played important roles in the fields of materials, medicine, security, environment, remote sensing, geology, aerospace and other fields. CSS now has 7 professional branches and 6 working committees and has founded Chinese Journal of Stereology and Image Analysis, a first-level national academic journal.
