Green bean inner bean pod parenchyma cells after steaming (Phaseolus vulgaris; Blue Lake variety), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Large intercellular spaces in the outer parenchyma and thick-walled hypodermis contribute to cell separation and sloughing when beans are steamed. Magnification: x105 when shortest axis printed at 25 millimetres.
