Abstract

Scanning electron microscope SEM is a common tool in the study of plant microstructure today. Advantages of the Low Vacuum Scanning Electron Microscope LVSEM over the Transmission Electron Microscope and the Optical Streo binocular Dissecting microscope for study of plant microstructures are highlighted. Micrographs of microstructures of the palisade cells of mangosteen leaf and durian anther and pollen grains generated by secondary electrons SE and backscattered BE electrons under different preparation process and vacuum modes of LVSEM are discussed.
