Hello,
I have to tell you I am only the photographer. This very rare cuts are from the famous Robin Wacker. A friend was so kind to stain them for me and to mount them.
The staining is done with W3A sym 1, a special formulation developed by Robin Wacker and for a long time a secret of him.
You can find it on page 210 here:

Beautiful images Anne. The staining is excellent.
I came across the name Wacker before and... by coincidence am attempting to use a rotary microtome for botanical sections.

Regards,

Walter
