In an innovative study, nanoscale characterization of natural fibres using contact-resonance force microscopy (CR-EM) was reported by Sandeep et al. [44]. This method was used to evaluate the cell wall layers of natural fibres for studying the elastic properties of cell walls. The cell wall layer experiments involved samples collected from a 45-year-old red oak. The studies revealed that there is a thin region between the SI and S2 layers with apparently lower modulus than that of other secondary layers. Eigure 1.12 shows schematic representation of cell wall layers of wood fibre. Eigure 1.13 shows images for the topography and indentation modulus. Contrasts in modulus between the compound middle lamellae (CML) and SI and S2 layers are clearly visible. Mean values of the indentation...

Fig 3 An extremely simplified and schematic representation of how three broad classes of polymer are arranged in the onion cell wall (taken from McCann and Roberts 1991 (4)). Although simplistic, the sizes and spacings of the polymers are based on direct measurements of native walls (1) and are drawn to scale. Scale bar represents 50nm.

The secondary wall found in wood cells is composed of two or three layers, known as SI, S2, and S3, respectively. In each of these layers, the cellulose microfibrils are "spirally-wound" at a different angle to the major axis of the tracheid. This variation in microfibril angle imparts strength to the fiber structure in a variety of directions. Within the bast or schlerenchyma cells found in flax, hemp, jute, and kenaf, the secondary wall is less thick than that of wood, but contains layers of similarly spirally-wound microfibrils embedded in a hemicellulose and pectin-rich matrix. This "composite structure" imparts potentially high strength to regions of the cell wall. Figures 9.1 and 9.2 show a schematic representation of flax fiber and a section of an elementary fiber with its fibrillar structure in its secondary cell wall [31].

The plant cell wall is the most important part of lignocellulosic natural fibers. Figure 1.4(c) shows the schematic representation of the natural plant cell wall [19]. The cell wall of lignocellulosic natural fibers primarily consists of a hollow tube with four different layers [19]. The first layer is called the primary cell wall, the other three, the secondary cell walls, while an open channel in the center of the microfibrils is called the lumen...

Figure 9.8 A schematic representation of the subcellular compartmentalisation of a wine yeast cell. The cell envelope, comprising a cell wall, periplasm and plasma membrane, surrounds and encases the yeast cytoplasm. The structural organisation of the intracellular milieu, containing organelles such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria and vacuoles, is maintained by a cytoskeleton. Several of these organelles derive from an extended intramembranous system and are not completely independent of each other. Adapted from Pretorius (2000).

Figure 9.10 shows the schematic representation of an OTTLE cell [17]. The ceU walls are in quartz and the optical path is 0.5 mm. Its larger, cylindrical shaped top part plays the function of solution reservoir and enables the CE and RE housing. This top part of the cell is sealed with a Teflon plug in which there are four holes three of them are used to house the electrodes, while the fourth hole enables to fill the cell and to bubble the gas into the cell for oxygen removal.
