Abstract
The errors that may arise from the use of extraction replicas for quantitative measurements of particle-size, density, and volume fraction are considered. It is shown that shadowing the specimen surface before replication allows assessment of the sources of error. Serious errors arise in all particle parameters if sectioned particles are extracted, but irregularities in the matrix surface lead only to systematic errors in particle density and volume fraction.
