A magnified, circular cross-section of biological plant tissue is depicted against a solid black background

A magnified, circular cross-section of biological plant tissue is depicted against a solid black background. The specimen, stained predominantly pink and purple, reveals intricate cellular architecture. An outer perimeter consists of tightly packed, small, polygonal cells. Immediately inward, the tissue forms numerous undulating, finger-like invaginations extending towards the center. These invaginations contain discernible vascular bundles, characterized by smaller, circular cell clusters. The central region exhibits more loosely arranged cells and scattered, spiky projections, surrounded by intercellular spaces. Cellular walls and internal structures are clearly visible. A slightly more densely stained and thickened region is present on the right edge of the circular specimen. The image represents a static, prepared slide viewed under a microscope, originating from the city of Midrand, South Africa. No people, actions, or direct environmental interactions are present within the frame.
