Fig. 3From: Measuring the compressive modulus of elasticity of pith-filled plant stems(Top) Maize rind thickness as a function of axial distance. (Bottom) X-ray computed tomography image of the corresponding maize stalk. Dashed lines indicate the locations where the rind is thickest. Samples were prepared by cutting near the dashed lines. A prepared sample is shown in Fig. 2bBack to article page
