Nl, length of the needle; Nh, height of needle cross-section; Bw, width of vascular bundle including endodermis; Bh, height of vascular bundle including endodermis; Nc, number of resin canals; Cw, width of resin canal; Ch, height of resin canal; Dy, distance between resin canal and vascular bundle; Ct, cuticle thickness; Ew, tangential dimension of the epidermal cell layer; Eh, radial dimension of the epidermal cell layer; Hh, radial dimension of the hypodermal cell; Hw, tangential dimension of the hypodermal cell; Ht, thickness of wall of hypodermis cell; Ce, radial dimension of the endodermal cell layer. |
