Hi researchers,
Trichomes or plant hairs are present on leaf, stem and fruits those are very small, transparent and present very densely. So it is difficult to count those directly under microscope. please advise some pre-treatments or protocols for counting them easily and accurately.
In some instance an adhesive tape peeling can remove gradually leaf hairs. tape sections can be mounted on a slide and counted until peeling reaches surface of epidermis. The tape should be transparent and adhesive
Hello Guido Bongi Sir, Thanks for replying. Would you have any protocol or reference regarding this, so that I can follow the method perfectly.
Thanks for answering @ Urszula Zajączkowska. But there is a lot of difference between trichomes & stomata counts in leaf sample. So the above link wont provide me enough help.
