The Plant Anatomy Laboratory Manual has been established in botanical education for 9 editions and has been continuously improved and updated since then. The present Volume 1 is structured according to the following principles: general guidance on preparing and microscoping botanical objects, exercises in botanical cytology and histology, comparison of microphotographs and drawings, anatomy of the vegetative organs of higher plants, and embryology of spermatophytes. Volume 2 of the Plant Anatomy Laboratory Manual contains instructions for preparing and microscoping lower plants, including bacteria and fungi. The entire work serves students and instructors in biology, botany, pharmacy, and agriculture to familiarize themselves with the structure, reproduction, and developmental processes of plant organisms. Volume 1 of this two-part work is truly a classic.
