In the article "Comparison of Fiber Counting by TV Screen and Eyepieces of Phase Contrast Microscopy" (Amer. icon Industrial Hyeiene Asseciution Journal, Vol. 63, Pp. 756-761), 1. Moa et al. reported on determining fiber density by two different methods. Twenty samples of varying fiber density were each counted by 10 viewers by means of an eyepiece method and a television screen method to determine the relationship between the counts done by each method. The results, in fibers per square millimeter, are presented on the Weiss Stats site.
