Figure 5From: Visualizing water-filled versus embolized status of xylem conduits by desktop x-ray microtomographyPartial refilling of a vessel element. The images show the surroundings of the embolized vessel in Figure 4 in greater detail, with images a) and c) corresponding to Figure 4a, and b) and d) corresponding to Figure 4b. The axial cross-section shown in all panels is approximately 300 × 600 μm2. c) and d) also depict a longitudinal section, with green arrows indicating where the vessel was partially refilled between the two scans. As a common point of reference, the white arrow points to the same sclereid in each image.Back to article page
