Lamellar microstructures are characterized by interlamellar spacings: random, apparent and true. The mean value of true interlamellar spacing can be estimated by measurements of apparent spacings, random spacings or by counting number of intersections the secant with plates. In this paper the statistical errors in true interlamellar spacing measurements has been determined and discussed using the example of pearlite in eutectoid steel. The accuracy of estimation of true interlamellar spacing using all the methods is comparable and sufficient.
