The authors used butyl-methyl methacrylate to embed small wood blocks for study of pit structure during treatments of wood, such as various drying methods, may cause considerable damage to the pit membranes.Abstract:
Embedding of small wood blocks for study of changes in pit structure during treatments of wood, such as various drying methods, may cause considerable damage to the pit membranes. The sapwood of three species was studied: Sitka spruce, Douglas-fir, and Pacific silver fir. Drying was done by air-drying, freeze-drying, and solvent-seasoning. The principal embedding medium used was butyl-methyl methacrylate. Other media used were celloidin, paraffin, and commercial epoxy and polyester resins.read more

A review of the configuration of bordered pits to stimulate the fluid flow
TL;DR: In this article, the role of bordered pits to axial flow is discussed in respect to preservative treatment and pit aspiration is also reviewed in softwood softwood trees, and the structural behavior of this conducting pathway is discussed according to the published literature.

TL;DR: The first part deals with the formation, anatomy and properties of wood, and the second part is important for the numerous means of identifying woods which it contains as discussed by the authors, including anatomical means, structural features, physical characteristics, figure as it is related to the various planes of cut, and by chemical means.

TL;DR: The structure of bordered pits in springwood and summerwood tracheids ofAbies alba, Picea abies, Pinus silvestris andThuja occidentalis has been investigated in relation to their behaviour during pit closure microscopically as well as by penetrability studies.
