Excipuloid stroma ontogeny in Peziza quelepidotia Korf & O'Donnell was investigated. The scanning electron microscope was used to examine whole specimens from the initials up to maturity. In addition, the internal features of cryofractured, critical-point-dried stroma of various stages were investigated and compared with thick-sectioned, plastic-embedded material viewed in the light microscope. A comparison of these indeterminate vegetative structures with stroma and sclerotia was made.

Collections of filamentous marine fungi in Seychelles included Nimbospora effusa Koch and an undescribed species, Nimbospora bipolaris Hyde & Jones sp. nov. Tha latter differs from N. effusa in the size of the ascospores and in ascospore appendage morphology. Both species are illustrated by light microscope and scanning electron microscope micrographs.

We examined latex casts of the pulmonary microcirculation with the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Mature rats were anesthetized and ventilated; the pulmonary vasculature was washed out with lactated Ringer solution and then filled with a mixture of Geon latexes. The airways were filled with glutaraldehyde with resulting transmural vascular pressures of 10 cmH2O. After critical-point drying and corrosive removal of the lung tissue, SEM studies of the vascular replicas revealed two distinct patterns of pulmonary microcirculation: 1) sparse, long, tubular capillaries that comprise the thin subpleural layer and appear as “filler” in the peribronchial spaces; and 2) alveolar microcirculation that is composed of tightly matted, intersecting tubules, shorter but of the same diameter as type 1, in spherical array in two layers. The alveolar capillaries at low magnification appear superficially as sheets; however, the detailed morphology is not consistent with the sheet-and-post model. We conclude that the basic component of the pulmonary microcirculation is tubular and not different from other capillary beds except in density.

The anatomy of tawara-shibo stems of Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold & Zucc.) Endl. was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a light microscope. Tawara-shibo is a strange stem form with a series of swellings that appear at regular intervals along the stem axis. Multiseriate rays, trabeculae and related structures, and modified tracheids were frequently observed at swollen portions. These features were less frequent at non-swollen portions.We conclude that abnormal cambial activities, occurring at regular longitudinal intervals, cause the formation and development of these three anatomical features and higher growth rates at swollen portions. As a result of differences in growth rate between swollen and non-swollen portions, the stem form of tawara-shibo develops. It is suggested that formation of the characteristics observed in tawara-shibo stems is genetically controlled by hormonal secretion into or within the cambium.

This work studies 17 species of mexican Araliaceae from the palynological point of view belonging to the genera Aralia, Dendropanax, Didymopanax, Redera, Oreopanax y Sciadodendron . All the pollen descriptions are presented at the generic level. The grains were studied based in scanning electron microscope and light microscope. It includes a dichotomous key for the genera grains. The results showed few differences between the pollen grains of the genera although some exine characters are important. Redera and Didymopanax presented an exine semi-tectate and the rest of the genera had tectate-perforate grains. This paper compared also some pollen characters with morphological ones, finding pollen characters considered primitive correlated with characters of primitive Araliaceae groups .

The detailed description of rarely recorded Thalassiosira species in Brazil is presented with light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) illustrations. A total of 78 phytoplankton net samples (20 µm) collected between the years 2000 and 2006 in coastal waters of southern Brazilian, Cassino Beach and the estuary of Lagoa dos Patos, were studied in cleaned material using the Axiovert Zeiss LM and Jeol 6060 SEM. Water temperature and salinity of samples and six species are presented: Thalassiosira endoseriata, T. hendeyi, T. lundiana, T. minuscula, T. oceanica and T. wongii. Two species, Thalassiosira hendeyi and T. endoseriata were the most common being observed in all seasons at Cassino Beach in a wide temperature range (10-26 ºC), while only sporadically in the estuary of Lagoa dos Patos. Thalassiosira endoseriata, T. lundiana, T. oceanica and T. wongii are for the first time reported in Brazilian coastal waters. The latter two species, rarely recorded in the world, are fully illustrated based on Brazilian material.

The endemic Indian genus Haplanthodes (Acanthaceae) is revised. Four species, viz. H. neilgherryensis, H. plumosa, H. tentaculata and H. verticillata and a new variety, H. neilgherryensis var. toranganensis are recognized. Lectotype is designated for Haplanthodes, Haplanthus plumosus and H. verticillaris. The nomenclature of the Linnaean name Ruellia tentaculata is also discussed. Micromorphology of seed using light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) is observed for the first time, and two types, reticulate and micro papillate, have been recognized based on surface sculpturing pattern. The genus differs from the related genera Andrographis and Haplanthus by distinctly two grooved seeds with hygroscopic hairs. Pollen grains of the genus are oblate or prolate spheroidal, distinctly triangular, trizonocolporate with reticulate exine ornamentation.

We present a case report of periocular Loa loa. The key feature of L. loa distinguishing it from other human filarial parasites are cuticular bosses, which are presented in images from a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The cuticular bosses could be divided into three subtypes not previously described.
