Description
Colorized scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section of a rice (Oryza sativa) leaf. The crystal-like platelets in the surface are made of wax and protect the plant against water loss; the wart-like bumps enlarge the surface of the leaf and thus increase the photosynthetic activity. In the lower image area, some stomata are visible; they regulate water and CO2. Magnification 22001 at 12x11 cm.
