Cross section through a seed grain of Black Bindweed or Climbing Bindweed, Fallopia convolvulus. The light micrograph shows the details of the embryo in the triangular seed grain. Stained with calcoflour white to show the cell walls under blue excitation. Some cells in the inner circle show red autofluorescence of the green chloroplasts. Microscopic contrast technique: Fluorescence contrast. Magnification: 100x when printed 10 centimetres wide.
