Table 1 Voucher information and differences in the resolution of leaf veins as assessed from vein density (VLA) calculations based on two different 2D X-ray image plate resolutions, the industrial standard (25 µm) compared with our new project standard (7 µm) as well as micro CT (CT)
From: Improved non-destructive 2D and 3D X-ray imaging of leaf venation
