Regular shapes and patterns are typical for plant tissue and often lend microscopic images a distinctive aesthetic appeal, like in this stem cross section of Convallaria recorded with FACILITY and stitched from 10 by 10 tiles, each 125 µm by 125 µm. Autofluorescence was separated and colored according to the signal’s lifetime – which depends on the type of autofluorescent molecule and its nanoenvironment – with TIMEBOW lifetime imaging.
