| Separable SOMSO plant models - an ever expanding collection. Nearly every botanical SOMSO model has been developed in cooperation with Prof. Dr. W. Weber. |

BoS 16 - Plant Cell
Enlarged 3000 times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. After Prof. Dr. W. Jung. Showing the microscopic structure. Model in one piece. On a green base, with explanatory note.

BoS 16/1 - Plant Cell
After Prof. Dr. W. Weber. Enlarged approximately 6000 times, made in transparent special plastic material. The model provides a slightly schematic picture of a mature cell from the assimilation tissue of a plant. It combines both light and electron microscopic aspects and shows the cell components for the most part with their electron optical fine structure. Apart from the layering of the cell wall it shows the configuration of the cytoplasm and the essential cell organs, such as the nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, endoplasmatic reticulum, dictyosomes and ribosomes. The use of transparent material gives an insight into the structures behind the section thus eliminating the need for dismantling the model. The stand is made up of the neighbouring cells at the bottom. On a green base with explanatory key. Model in one piece.

BoS 16/2 - Chloroplast of Higher Plant
After Prof. Dr. W. Weber. Enlarged approximately 60,000 times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. The model shows the submicroscopic fine structure of a chloroplast on three vertical plane cross-sections with the outer and inner chloroplast membrane, grain and stroma thylacoids, plastid stroma, starch inclusions and osmiophile globules. The grain thylacoid masses lie in front of the cross section planes and can be taken out together with the linking stroma thylacoids. Through the three cross-sectional planes and the superimposed and removable parts, the model gives a depth of dimension as achieved when viewing cross-sections through electron microscopes. Model separates into 2 parts. On stand with green base and explanatory key.
