Plate P4.
Variable contribution of cell walls to the bulk of vitrinite. 2.
T5809; Hole 1109D; 387.86 mbsf. Same as figure 1, but in fluorescence mode. The
cell walls show moderate to strong fluorescence, and moderate positive
alteration of the fluorescence was noted on prolonged irradiation. The section
is close to being a transverse section of the wood. The larger areas of
fluorescence in part indicate sections parallel with a cell wall and in part
zones where corpocollinite has not filled the cell lumens (reflected light;
field width = 0.22 mm; vitrinite reflectance [cell contents] = 0.34%).
