About this work
Gametophyte of Pleurocladula albescens. The real-world width of the image would be about 2 mm. It is composed of a stack of about 100 images. Individual leaf cells can be seen clearly. The highly concave leaves are laden with water, which had to be maintained during the capture of images otherwise the tiny liverwort would dehydrate and shrivel.
