Transverse sectioning of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves using resin embedding [PDF]
, 2015 The leaf is the major functional part of the shoot performing the bulk of photosynthetic activity. Its development is relatively plastic allowing the plant to adapt to environmental changes by modifying leaf size and anatomy.

Deposition of growth layer groups in dentine tissue of captive common dolphins Delphinus delphis
NAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2014 Knowledge of age structure and longevity (maximum age) are essential for modelling marine mammal population dynamics. Estimation of age in common dolphins (Delphinus spp.) is primarily based on counting Growth Layer Groups (GLGs) in the dentine of thin ...

Ultra-thin Serial Sectioning with Rocking Microtomes [PDF]
Nature, 1957 A WELL-KNOWN difficulty in using rocking microtomes for ultra-thin sectioning is the tendency for the cut section to be picked up on the return stroke. A number of mechanical devices have been described1 which attempt to overcome this. The device described here is a non-mechanical and exceedingly simple but effective aid to serial sectioning.
