Steven, There have been several papers published about the application of geostatistics to microbiology (e.g. Rossi, Robertson, or Webster), and several of them are listed in the review paper that you can download from my webpage (http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~goovaert/publication.html):
Goovaerts, P. 1998. Geostatistical tools for characterizing the spatial variability of microbiological and physico-chemical soil properties. Biology and Fertility of Soils, 27(4): 315-334. I also remember a study where geostatistics has been used to study the spatial distribution of bugs on the roots of a plant. Of course, multiple studies have dealt with the study of miscroscopic imagery, including the one I presented at a recent conference on analysis software for microscopy imagery (see pdf slides at http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~goovaert/publication.html) Hope it helps, Pierre <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Dr. Pierre Goovaerts President of PGeostat, LLC Chief Scientist with Biomedware Inc. 710 Ridgemont Lane Ann Arbor, Michigan, 48103-1535, U.S.A.
