- The study examined various microscopy techniques to measure the size of ultimate fibers from harakeke, a plant native to New Zealand.
- Key variables in the study included geographic location, time of year, and specific plant characteristics, while the experimental focus was on the microscopy methods used.
- Results showed that the most effective techniques were light microscopy of thin transverse leaf sections and scanning electron microscopy of nonfixed fibers.
