In vivo imaging of the interior of Tradescantia zebrina leaves by optical cross-correlation interferometry.
Using optical correlation interferometry, a novel method for plant sciences, we in imaged in vivo the z-direction, perpendicular to the leaf surface, through Tradescantia zebrina leaves. Non-invasively we determined number of major cell layers, followed the time sequence of decrease in cell z-axis after exposure of tissues to high salt, and observed disruption of cells caused by freezing and thawing.
