Xylem
Xylem
Since justcurious was asking about xylems I decided to photo some today and post one. Philoderndron stem (house plant), 40x obj, 3mp camera. Stack of five images.
I enjoy these because they look like springs.

Re: Xylem
Did you cut it freehand or did you use some kind of microtome? Also, what program do you use to stack your images? Thanks!
Re: Xylem
Not so sure about that. Actually the other day I took a handful of salad greens and a little water and ran it thru a blender (ala Justcurious) just to see what it might look like. A potpourri of xylem, stomata, and cells. Might be an easy way to get sections
