This work aims to provide a practical course in vegetable histology, particularly focusing on medicinal plants that are important in economic botany. The author, who has practical laboratory experience, emphasizes the cellular structures found in these plants and aims to clarify the classification of plant cells." "The opening of the text introduces its purpose and scope, outlining that the book is designed for educators and students in histology and pharmacognosy. The preface describes the research background of the author and highlights the need for a structured classification of plant cells, which creates confusion among students. Moreover, it mentions that the book includes original illustrations to aid in understanding, demonstrating the significance of each plant's microscopic structure. The first chapters delve into the various types and uses of microscopes, essential tools for studying histology, setting up a detailed panorama for the subsequent exploration of plant tissues and cells."
