The center appears black; however, under magnification it is found to be a golden charcoal gray or brown. The bundle caps and fibrous bundles have a bluish tint. The first two images were taken with a Canon PowerShot SD770 IS Digital ELPH 10.0 MEGA PIXELS, cropped and resized in Adobe Photoshop CS6. The images were taken in sunlight outside. |

The next two images were taken at 150x with a Dino-Lite AD7013 MT 5.0 MP. Images were resized in Adobe Photoshop CS6. As a small log section this specimen can't be beat; however, at a microscopic level many of the vascular bundles appear to be compressed and cell detail is sometimes lacking. |
