Three-dimensional label-free histological imaging of whole organs by microtomy-assisted autofluorescence tomography [PDF]
Summary: Three-dimensional (3D) histology is vitally important to characterize disease-induced tissue heterogeneity at the individual cell level. However, it remains challenging for both high-throughput 3D imaging and volumetric reconstruction.

Taxonomic relevance of petiole anatomical and micro-morphological characteristics of Clematis L. (Ranunculaceae) taxa from South Korea [PDF]
We assessed the micro-morphological and anatomical structures of the petioles of 19 Clematis taxa from South Korea. The petiole surface features were observed with the help of stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and the anatomical features
