Systems and methods for automated stereology are provided. A method can include providing an imager for capturing a Z-stack of images of a three-dimensional (3D) object; constructing extended depth of field (EDF) images from the Z-stack of images; performing a segmentation method on the EDF images including estimating a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), performing morphological operations, performing watershed segmentation, constructing Voronoi diagrams and performing boundary smoothing; and determining one or more stereology parameters such as number of cells in a region.
