Wine Soaked Cork

As part of my motive to find a way of seeing wood fiber, I found some cork from a recently emptied red wine bottle. I scraped the cork to gather thin fragments. Some were thin enough to be used as microscope subjects. I could see some cell structures in the cork and some interesting elastic plant fibers. I could watch water being absorbed into the cork fibers. It was like an exploration of another planet.
