Agave Leaf
Description:
Colored scanning electron micrograph of a section of an Agave leaf (Agave univitata). The green portion consists of water storing cells which came about as an adaptive response to the arid climate in which the Agave grows. The blue substance is the outer wax layer of the leaf which contains stomata. Stomata are pores through which gas is exchanged. The purple object is one of many crystalline needle-like structures called raphide that are embedded in the plants tissue as a self defense against herbivorous animals.
