European beach grass - bright field and fluorescence

[gewo]

Long time I am an observer here - it took a while for the first pictures
A motif that has certainly been seen many times, but perhaps not yet in these colors.
Sectioned using a Reichert microtome 25 µm - sample from 70% alcohol.

Wonderful!

So the leaf curls in dry conditions and opens up in wet conditions.
