Structure of a complete vascular bundle observed with the objective of
40x. Towards the outside of the vascular bundle and surrounded by
cortical parenchyma
(yellow)
appears a bundle of
sclerenchyma fibers.
Towards the interior are shown part of the
phloem,
the position of the
cambium,
and the elements of the
xylem.
In this last one, we can see the
metaxylem,
more externally located, and the
protoxylem,
more internally located. Around the vascular elements are located cells
of the
medullar parenchyma
