I teach a bit of botany, to our first-year students. I really enjoy the subject & hopefully some of that rubs off \ud83d\ude42 Anyway, I’m always on the lookout for new images to use in my lectures, & tonight I came across this stunning photograph<\/a> by Eckhard Völcker, who has very kindly given his permission for me to share the image with you.  <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

While it looks like a lovely piece of lace in contrasting colours, it’s actually a section through a willow shoot, stained with dyes that (for example) highlight the lignified tissues in xylem and the fibre caps on vascular bundles.<\/p>\n

You can see more of these beautiful photos here<\/a>, or visit Herr Völcker’s webpage<\/a> for more of his work.<\/p>\n

(Your turn, Grant!)<\/p>\n
