Topographic micrographs of lisianthus AVIs. A. Bright field image of AVIs in adaxial epidermal cells of the inner petal region, showing the surface structures of the AVIs (red) and the weakly colored area (pink) surrounding these AVIs. B. Bright field image of AVIs in the central vacuoles of the adaxial epidermal cellsof the outer petal region. C. Bright field image of isolated AVIs mounted on glass slide in 0.1 M PBS (pH 7.0), AVIs showing colored threads and granules. D. SEM image in low magnification showing the surface structures of AVIs isolated from the adaxial epidermis of the inner petal region. E. A higher magnification SEM image of the same material as in D. F. Higher magnification SEM image of the boxed region in E. G. Higher magnification SEM image of the boxed region in F.
