PLANT ATLAS

Macroscopy and microscopy

This site focuses on plants. The main goal is to provide descriptions of plant bodies and their structures. The images and illustrations are mainly original works, while the remainder are sourced from materials with appropriate licenses. Numerous excellent websites exist on the Internet about botany. The possible appeal of this location lies in the microscopic images, which are typically hard to find. Here, they will be plentiful and of the highest quality possible. Moreover, each image will be thoroughly described

Due to the time-consuming process of obtain microscopic images, a low growth of this site content is expected. There is no deadlines or specific goals. Thus, the site content will be added and developed in no particular order and as the site develops.

There is no special guideline or scientific purpose to choose the species to be analyzed, but the available plant species at Galicia (northwest of Spain) will be studied.
