Fig. 1From: Age trends of microfibril angle inheritance and their genetic and environmental correlations with growth, density and chemical properties in Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake woodProcedure of sample preparation for wood characterization. Wedges (A) and radial strips were cut from discs; small wood samples (B) and tangential sections (C) were cut for density and microfibril angle measurements. Near-infrared (NIR) spectra 1, 3 and 4 were recorded from the early juvenile wood, late juvenile wood and early mature wood. The wedges were ground for wet-chemistry analysis and NIR spectra were measured from the powders (NIR spectra 2)Back to article page
