description Thermal modification of wood is a process that has drawn considerable attention of Brazilian researchers, but studies about the effect of this process on wood anatomy are scarce, even in the worldwide literature.

The investigated treatments corresponded to three final cycle temperatures (140, 160 and 180 °C), which were compared to untreated wood. Wood anatomy was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy, in the latter case to measure the dimensions of fibers, vessel elements and ray parenchyma.
