Fig. 7

Fluorescence micrographs of transverse sections of OW and three CWs stained with aniline blue fluorochrome. OW unstained control (a) and stained (b); MCW1 unstained control (c) and stained (d); MCW2 unstained control (e) and stained (f); SCW unstained control (g) and stained (h). For the OW, there is no obvious difference between micrographs of the unstained, control section (a) and the stained section (b). For MCW1, MCW2 and SCW, the stained sections (d, f, h) show more fluorescence than the controls (c, e, g), with the most fluorescence being in the S2i region. Fluorescence intensity of this region was least in MCW1 (d) and most in SCW (h). Intercellular spaces (IS) are present only in MCW2 and SCW. Sections were from Tree 1 and the micrographs obtained using a Leica confocal microscope. Scale bar: 5 μm
