A
sample of the terminal bud stem tip looks like a squid. It has many
long leaf primordia. These primordia are connected to the ground
meristem. Many cells are found on the apical meristem. All leaf
primordia seem to be heading to the same direction.
Apical Meristem

Description
100x
The apical meristem seems to be
mostly made up of cells. Many nuclei are visible on
the apical meristem. Interestingly, some nuclei are
ellipse-shaped.
400x
There are many shapes of the nuclei
other than circular. A few nuclei appear to be in a
process of reproduction. One cell at the middle of
the image with a nucleus divided and separated into
two parts seems to be in the anaphase of cell
reproduction.

Leaf primordia are also made up of
many plant cells. These plant cells have their
distinct shapes. However, the size of the plant
cells seems to be various.

The leaf primordia seem to turn
into transparent shape at the end of their long
body.
Ground Meristem

The ground meristem seems to act
like a main parts of the stem. Many cells are found
at the center of the meristem. Some cells seem to be
missing nuclei.

The cells in the image seem to form
a circular pattern. The cells look like heading into
one center point.
