Hi,
did you make the sections and stained them yourself ?

Re: Sunflower stems
Hi,
I did stain myself and left it in too long but liked the effect. My pics were taken on my phone and too high a resolution to upload to the forum so I took a screenshot to upload instead. Thanks for the info on how to change size.

Re: Sunflower stems
What stain did you use?

I hope it's OK - please let me know if you would like me to remove following image.
I labelled your excellent section with the basic structure of the vascular-bundle...
Apologies if you'd rather I remove this version - just let me know.
Looks like you may have used something akin to Safranin - great metachromasia with
safranin + fresh sections!

Re: Sunflower stems
Thank you so much for the explanation and letting me know what everything is. I love it Is it ok to put on my Facebook. I did use Safranin. I also did some blue ones which came out nice as well. I am looking forward to learning more and discovering a whole new world. I had a nice old family compound microscope when I was young but without the internet, I didn't really know what I could do with it apart from looking at the pre prepared slides.mrsonchus wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 4:37 pmI hope it's OK - please let me know if you would like me to remove following image.
