Stomata are usually spaced several mesophyll
cells apart and as Parkhurst (1994) pointed out, the
reported range of stomatal densities is approximately
10–2000 stomata mm-2 (values from Willmer & Fricker
1996), which equates to interpore spacings ranging from
24–340 um (assuming uniform triangular grid spacing,
which is a simplification). See BNID 101758 |
