Impact of the use of biopsy foam in the dehydration and embedding steps on root tissue integrity. a Root radial section obtained after the dehydration and embedding treatments using biopsy foam. b Same as (a) without the use of biopsy foam. The root is deformed and no longer circular, and the images show destruction of the most outer cellular layers, which were no longer distinguishable (red arrow), and bursting of more inner cells, such as in the cortex (black arrow).
