Marek,

Gorgeous abstract image!

You do some wonderful things with your polarized light and compensators.

Nice picture again, Marek

Is it a fresh section or a fixed mounted/stained slide?

Thank you all for the nice comments !

Pau,

Yes, it is a fresh section. No stains, no other procedures, just simply cut thin longitudinal slice from the stalk and lit by polarized light.
