Applying CLSM to increment core surfaces for histometric analyses: A novel advance in quantitative wood anatomy [PDF]
Dendrochronologia, 2013 A novel procedure has been developed to conduct cell structure measurements on increment core samples of conifers. The procedure combines readily available hardware and software equipment. The essential part of the procedure is the application of a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) which captures images directly from increment cores surfaced ...
