Pop a cover slip on the slide and then put the slide onto the microscope. Take a look! Check out that strong cell wall structure. It's solid so that it keeps a plant's shape and structure.

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

The way we study plant cells is expanding—literally—thanks ... "We have the low-end microscopes, which are user-friendly but ...

The microscope-generated video images show protoplasts—cells with their walls removed—of cabbage's cousin, the flowering plant Arabidopsis, chaotically sprouting filaments of cellulose fibers ...
