Photographic reconstruction of the central nerve of the leaf
observed with the objective of 40x. We can distinguish the
upper
epidermis
and, below, the
spongy
and
palisade parenchyma.
In the microphotography appears a ramification of the main
bundle, cut longitudinally. Over the conductive elements (xylem
(yellow)
and
phloem)
is located a zone of
collenchyma,
both towards the zone of the upper and lower epidermis
(non-visible in this microphotography). There are numerous
transverselly cut
sclereids
below the phloem
