Description: The medium scale structure of a leaf featuring the major tissues; the upper and lower epithelia (and associated cuticles), the palisade and spongy mesophyll and the guard cells of the stoma. Vascular tissue (veins), made up of xylem, phloem and sheath cells, and example trichromes are also shown. The green spots within cells represent chloroplasts and indicate which tissues undergo photosynthesis.
