Fig. 4.1-6. Transverse section of parsnip. This is a higher magnification of the same cells as in Fig. 4.1-5, showing that the cell walls are thickened at the corners. These cells appear empty, but nuclei are visible in several (arrows). The paucity of nuclei indicates that these are long cells, not isodiametric ones.
