Dale M. Benham, Nebraska Wesleyan University, Plant Study Resources: Plant Anatomy Photo Archive. More than 50 images of stems, roots, and leaves of vascular plants commonly studied in Plant Biology courses. Also worth checking out: Interactive Version Plant Anatomy Study. (Flash). Four lessons (Cell Types, Meristems, Plant Organs and Tissues) are available for study.

Online Image Collection.
This page acts as a map to
the entire collection. Images are classified
in groups in which they were submitted for historical purposes, e.g.
Carnivorous Plants, Cellular Communication Channels, Economic Botany,
Floral Ontogeny, Lichens, Organography,
Paleobotany,
Phloem Development,
Plant Anatomy,
Plant Defense Mechanisms, Plant Geography ,Plant Morphology,
Pollen,
Xylem Development,
Filicophyta,
Psilophyta,
Sphenophyta.
Each image acts as a link to a page containing more information,
and a larger version of the picture.
If you are searching for a specific image, you can use the google
search at the bottom of the page. Excellent!

The InsideWood database contains brief descriptions of woody dicots (hardwoods) from more than 200 plant families, and is searchable by an interactive, multiple-entry key. The project benefits from collaboration with the Micromorphology Group, Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, U.K. and the National Herbarium of the Netherlands, and CSIRO Forestry and Forest Products, Australia.

Elisabeth A. Wheeler, Department of Wood and Paper Science, North Carolina State University: Wood Anatomy and Properties. See the Lecture notes. The first part of the course discusses the macroscopic features common to all native woods, tree growth, and wood formation. Next is a study of softwood and hardwood anatomy that emphasizes the relationship between structure, function, and material characteristics. Discussion of cell wall properties precedes an introduction to some of wood´s physical and mechanical properties. Worth checking out: The handlens identificacation page.
