From: The impact of alterations in lignin deposition on cellulose organization of the plant cell wall
Modulation of small angle scattering by interference due to packing of cellulose fibrils was observed to be strongest in the region near the pith. a Optical image of stem, the grid containing 3 × 160 points corresponds the position of the microdiffraction scan. b The distribution of fiber content and microfibril angle across the stem. c Diffraction pattern collected at position 61 close to the pith exhibits a strong modulation of small angle scattering (inset) attributed to partially ordered packing of cellulose fibrils. d Comparison of intensity at small angle region for four positions from epidermis to pith, and exhibiting the modulation at ~0.017 Å−1 due to interference
