A Comparision of Starch Granules as Seen by Both Scanning Electron and Ordinary Light Microscopy
1973
Hall, David M. | Sayre, Joseph G.
Starch being a transparent crystal often give images which are difficult to precisely define with the light microscope due to the diffraction and other effects such as internal structure which may appear as a surface phenomena. The scanning electron microscope (SEM); however, gives only surface detail. In a effort to differentiate between surface and internal details, the same starch granules have been studied by both ordinary light and scanning electron microscopy. In each case the granules were held in the same configuration as was seen with the light microscope when they were studied by SEM. In this way a direct comparison could be made between granules viewed by each microscopy technique. From such comparisons it is possible to determine the starch details that are actually due to internal features. The results for canna, potato and corn starches are given.
