Big is Beautiful: Science (and Art) in Wood Microscopy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Abstract
Notwithstanding the importance of trees, considerable technical problems have severely restricted study of the fine structure of the vascular cambium and the wood and bark that it produces. And despite the advent of immunocytochemical techniques, it is only in the last few years that the roie of the cytoskeleton in the process of secondary vascular differentiation has been studied. Yet, for those who persist with this intractable material, the experience can be rewarding. This article discusses the difficulties involved in microscopy of this material, and offers some solutions.
