Figure 3

Refilling of embolized fibers due to increased temperature. Area near the left edge of Figure 2 shown in greater detail. Images a) and c) are taken immediately after bringing the sample indoors, b) and d) after two days at room temperature. Images a) and b) show axial cross-sections, c) and d) corresponding views, where also a longitudinal cross-section is shown. In a) and b), the position of the longitudinal cross section is indicated by the orange vertical line. Scale bars are 350 μm in panels a) and b), 200 μm in panels c) and d). In each panel, the white arrow points to the same ray cell, which has been refilled between scans. The red-green compass arrow is intended as a visual aid to understanding the relative orientation of the cross-sections.
