Description:
Upper surface of leaf showing 'hairs' and water droplets. Micro-droplets are spherical indicating that the surface is
hydrophobic, which allows water to run off the surface. Taken under ESEM wet mode in an
environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), using a Peltier cooling stage.
Equipment used:
