Applying CLSM to increment core surfaces for histometric analyses a novel advance in quantitative wood anatomy
- A novel procedure has been developed to conduct cell structure measurements on increment core samples of conifers. The procedure combines readily available hardware and software equipment. The essential part of the procedure is the application of a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) which captures images directly from increment cores surfaced with the advanced WSL core-microtome. Cell wall and lumen are displayed with a strong contrast due to the monochrome black and green nature of the images. Consecutive images are merged into long images representing entire increment cores which are then analysed for cell structures in suitable software.
