Abstract
The success of the leaf anatomical research depends on how much the tissue or cell characteristics differentiate under the compound microscope. This demands, careful preparation of specimens including sectioning, staining, mounting, and so forth. This is possible only with a feasible and standardised methodology for specimen preparation. In this paper, we recommend three standard and simple methodologies for the preparation of leaf specimens to explore 90% of the anatomical details of a leaf, under basic lab conditions. Leaf anatomical study include-leaf surface, leaf skeleton, transverse section of leaf midrib, lamina, and petiole. All these procedures were standardized for fresh leaf materials from selected dicot taxa.
