AN INDISPENSABLE BOOK 



J^O/^ STUDENTS OF BOTANY 



METHODS IN 

 PLANT HISTOLOGY 



BY 



CHARLES J. CHAMBERLAIN, A.M., Ph.D. 



Instructor in Botany in the Uni-versity of Chicago 



|HIS BOOK contains directions for collecting and 

 preparing plant material for microscopic investi- 

 gation. It is based upon a course in boianicaJ 

 micro-technique, and is the first complete manual 

 to be published on this subject. It is the result of 

 several years' work with classes in residence at the Uni- 

 versity of Chicago and with University Extension classes 

 away from the University. It aims, therefore, to meet the 

 requirements, not only of the student who has the assistance 

 oi an instructor in a fully equipped laboratory, but also of the 

 student who must work by himself and with limited appa- 

 ratus. Free-hand sectioning, the paraffin method, the cel- 

 !.?'*^*"-"^ethod, and the glycerin method are treated in con- 

 siaerable detail. In later chapters specific directions are 

 given tor making such preparations as are needed by those 

 WHO wish to study the plant kingdom from the algae up to 

 tne tlowermg plants. Special attention is paid to the 

 Maimng of karj'okinetic figures, because the student who 

 pasters this problem will find little difficulty in differen- 

 tiating other structures. Formulas are given for the 

 '^eagents commonly used in the histological laboratory.
