The Study of Maize Epidermal Replica by Oblique Illumination Microscopy

Surface replication is one of the commonly used methods in the study of plant surfaces; since surface replicating technique allows multiple observations from a living specimen at various developmental stages, the method thus frequently used in the study of the development of plant surfaces. Nitrocellulose based nail enamel, silicon rubber and methyl methacrylate (PolySciences, 23679-1) resin are among the most commonly used materials for making the surface replica. All these materials produce flexible, clear, transparent films, therefore, it can be studied by phase contrast or DIC microscopy. Because of the present of surface topography replicated from the specimen, it is also possible to obtain excellent images by using oblique illuminating method [1].
