Description
Polarised light micrograph of the digestive glands of a pitcher plant. These plants are carnivorous, trapping their prey in pitfall traps formed by specialized leaves which form a deep cavity filled with digestive enzymes. Enzymes are produced in the well-like depressions in the inner surface of the leaf. Magnification: x28 at 10cm wide.
