Plant Histology at Optical Microscope
The cells and tissues of plants and other vegetables with all their beauty and color
The main body of this book is a set of 91 color photomicrographs, most of them at
600 dpi and obtained with an Olympus microscope from the Department of Animal
Biology (before called Cytology and Histology) of the Faculty of Biology of the
University of Santiago of Compostela. It includes photomicrographs from the
cyanobacteria to the higher plants, passing through fungi, mosses, liverworts and ferns.
In the plants we study all kinds of tissues as well as sections of different parts such as the
root, stem, leaf and the female and male parts of the flower.
The book includes at the end an evaluation section consisting of clippings of the main
photos, with related questions. Also included is an annex of 48 micrographs made with
the Motic DM-B1 microscope on bacteria, single-celled algae, fungi and
complementary sections of plant structures.
The work is directed both to students and teachers of "Plant Histology" or "Botany" of
university degrees such as those offered in faculties such as Biology, Pharmacy, Primary
School, Agricultural Engineering ...
This work is of interest to the teachers of Secondary School who teach "Biology and
Geology" of fourth year of the Compulsary Secondary Education. And "Biology and
Geology" of the first year of the baccalaureate of Sciences of the Nature and the
Health.
In general, the book can be useful to teachers of other levels of education related to
the world of plants and vegetables.
The work is for me an old aim since I had the pleasure of teaching laboratory practices
of "Histology" during my doctoral thesis in the Faculty of Biology of the University of
Santiago of Compostela. My main wish is that the spectacular colours and designs of
the microscopic interior world of plants and other groups some way related should be
shared and enjoyed by all.
