[2D digitizing of plant cell areolation by polarized light microscopy]

An algoriphm for plant parenchimal cell delineation is developed. It works with digital photos made by polarized light microscope and allows digitize many parameter of each cell thus providing a lot of data characterizing plant tissue. Examples are given for unisratose lamina of leaves of two closely related moss species. Plagiomnium elatum and P. medium. We demonstrate a comparison of dimensional patterns in leaves and ability of formalization of such a structural character as arrangement of cells in oblique rows.
