[Histonet] Microtomy on wood

[John Kiernan]

Ruzin's big-page paperback book Plant Microtechnique
...  
is very good.

There is also an older, less expensive hardback from
Univ of Iowa
Press by Graeme Berlyn, who is now a Professor of
Forestry at Yale. 
Go to 
http://www.yale.edu/forestry/media/pollution.html
Berlyn's textbook provides a step-by-step approach to
intelligent staining of sections of parts of plants.
