About the Image

Photograph of a tissue print from a mature leaf of Peperomia camptotricha. A thich hand-cut fresh leaf section was pressed onto a nitrocellulose membrance. The resulting untouched print was photographed with side illumination to give a 3-D appearance. Such prints can be used for histochemical studies.
