Palynology is important in basic as well as in manifold applied
sciences, as e.g. biology, medicine, forensics, earth history,
climatology and food production. This volume is the first fully
illustrated handbook of palynological principles and glossary
terms, exclusively using LM and EM micrographs of superior quality.
A comprehensive General Chapter on pollen morphology, anatomy,
pollen development etc. based on the present knowledge in
palynology introduces the reader in the world of pollen. The
glossary part comprises more than 300 widely used terms illustrated
with over 1.000 high quality light and/or electron microscopic
pictures to show the character range of a term. Terms are grouped
by feature, e.g. ornamentation, where each term is illustrated on a
separate page, definition and original citation included and where
necessary, provided with a comprehensive explanatory comment. The
term's use in LM, SEM or TEM and its assignment to anatomical,
morphological and/or functional pollen features is indicated by
icons and colour coding, respectively. This handbook is not only a
valuable source for students and researchers but also for all
persons interested in pollen and its aesthetic beauty.
