  • A scanning electron microscope image of the stem of a cannabis (Cannabis sativa) plant. There are a number of different types of cell structures called trichomes in this image. The thorn-like trichomes use a physical defense while the circular glandular trichomes use chemical defense. Combined, these defenses keep insects and animals from eating the plant. Each circular glandular trichome is 50 um in diameter in this image.

  • Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of a sample if ice water hash or hashish. Shown in the image is a pile of glandular trichomes that have been concentrated in a unique process. Leaves with very high concentrations of stalked glandular trichomes are cooled in ice water then agitated. The agitation breaks off the trichomes, which in turn sink, to the bottom of the water.  Once separated from the water and dried, the ice water hash has some of the highest concentrations of THC of any physical separation process.

  • A cross section of a mature stem.   The different layers of the stem have been given different colors.  The layer that is several cells below the skin is the section of thick-walled fiber cells.  This highlights one potential uses of cannabis: an excellent source of fibers for paper, rope, and fabric.  The legalizing of cannabis in the United States opens research in this very profitable aspect of the plant. Field of vie of this image is 5 mm.

  • A scanning electron microscope image of the football shaped bract of the female  cannabis (Cannabis sativa) flower. The oval bract structure houses the stigma and is responsible for producing seeds when the flower has been pollinated. This bract structure is also the location of the highest concentration of cannabinoid compounds on the plant.  This site is also the location of the highest concentration of THC. There are a number of different types of cell structures called trichomes in this image. The thorn-like trichomes use a physical defense while the circular glandular trichomes use chemical defense. Combined, these defenses keep insects and animals from eating the plant. Each circular glandular trichome is 50 um in diameter in this image. The filed of view of this image is 3 mm wide.
