Light micrograph of a transverse section through the needle (leaf) of a pine tree,Pinus sp. . The centre of the leaf is occupied by two vascular bundles (butterfly-shaped region,centre),each one made up of a group of xylem tracheids (black) and a group of phloem elements (large pink areas). These are surrounded by a thick pericycle (brown) and a layer of endodermis (necklace-like ring of large dark cells). The tissue surrounding the endodermis is known as mesophyll. It is composed of cells with characteristically infolded walls,and contains seven large resin ducts. Magnification: x63 at 35mm size | |
