Description
This slide presents a cross-section of an oleander leaf, highlighting stomatal crypts—specialized chambers in the mesophyll that house stomata and trichomes. These crypts reduce water loss by creating a humid microenvironment and limiting direct exposure to air currents. The Carmino Green stain enhances visibility of epidermal layers, mesophyll, vascular bundles, and crypt structures.
