Three-dimensional imaging of xylem at cell wall level through near field nano holotomography

Abstract Detailed imaging of the three-dimensionally complex architecture of xylary plants is important for studying biological and mechanical functions of woody plants. Apart from common two-dimensional microscopy, X-ray micro-computed tomography has been established as a three-dimensional (3D) ima...
