Abstract
TEM images of thin foils with quasi-globular particles are examined by mean s of two methods of spatial statistics. The spatial arrangement of particle reference points is described by means of quadrat count statistics and by polygonal method (the analysis of the Voronoi mosaic generated by patterns of particle reference points). A good agreement between the both approaches is found, the polygonal method is more sensitive and its results are more conclusive. (C) 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
