The approximately 200 formulas or procedures in this book are gathered from numerous and scattered resources. I have tried many of them and have added a few personal inventions. While some techniques would benefit from access to a microtome, oven, hood, or warming tray, many data yielding preparations can be made with nothing more elaborate than a desk top, a razor blade, and some miscellaneous supplies. Access to a clinical or research grade microscope is assumed.Over many years of teaching plant anatomy, I have come to realize that students are especially intrigued by plant structures if they are given a chance to manipulate the tissues themselves. This guide was written with that in mind. The techniques will be of use to teachers at the college or secondary school levels, as well as anyone with a background in plant structure.
