The plant anatomy image database was started in the early 2000’s with the visit of professor Alexander Lux from Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia who was a Fulbright scholar in the professor Thomas Rost laboratory at UC Davis. His digital photos were taken at UC Davis and were supplemented by Rost and his students and post docs over the years. The image database is searchable, by plant organ, plant scientific and common name and is free to download, for non-profit use, by anyone with appropriate attribution to the source.
