Optical sectioning and 3D reconstructions as an alternative to scanning electron microscopy for analysis of cell shape

摘要

Premise of the study:Visualizing flower epidermal cells is often desirable for investigating the interaction between flowers and their pollinators, in addition to the broader range of ecological interactions in which flowers are involved. We developed a protocol for visualizing petal epidermal cells without the limitations of the commonly used method of scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
