  • A Thermogram of a young girl curling her hair with a hot iron.  The different colors represent different temperatures on the object. The lightest colors are the hottest temperatures, while the darker colors represent a cooler temperature.  Thermography uses special cameras that can detect light in the far-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (900?14,000 nanometers or 0.9?14 µm) and creates an  image of the objects temperature..

  • A SEM image of the edge of a leaf shows a calcium oxalate crystal. These crystals are found throughout the plant and are responsible for throat irritation when medical marijuana is smoked. Plants that have too many oxalate crystals are good candidates for modern THC extraction techniques. Calcium oxalate crystals in plants are called raphides. Humans have similar calcium crystals that can appear as kidney stones. These crystals help remove calcium build up in the tissues and make it undesirable for grazing animals to eat the plant.

  • An optical image of the cross section of a cannabis stem.  The center of the structure is where the pith cells are located, in a mature leaf the center section would be completely filled with pith cells. This section has been dyed with neutral red.  This picture of thestem shows a 4 mm wide field of view.

  • Cannabis plant. Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a cannabis (Cannabis sativa) plant bud.  Glandular cells called trichomes are also present. These are capitate trichomes that have stalks. These trichomes secrete a resin containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active component of cannabis when used as a drug.  Magnification is 180x when printed 10 cm wide.

  • Color-enhanced Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a marijuana (Cannabis sativa) plant leaf, showing glandular cells, called trichomes. These are capitate trichomes that have stalks. They secrete a resin containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active component of cannabis when used as a drug. The spherical cells at the top of the trichomes are 60 um in diameter.

  • 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.
