Figure 2
Longitudinal section of a mature leaf branch of Astragalus bisulcatus, imaged with optical microscopy and using a metal monocapillary optic. The step size is 5 µm in both dimensions, and the specimen is approximately 100 µm thick. Concentration is derived as previously described (Pickering et al., 2000) via a concentration standard. (a) and (b) are optical micrographs; (c) is a map of organic selenium. |
