An Ultrastructural Study of Formosan Honey Pollen (I)

The morphology of pollen from those plants contributing as nectar sources were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The pollen samples were subjected to acetolysis, fixation, dehydration, critical point drying and subsequently coating with gold. The ultrastructure of pollen of thirty-one species belonging to sixteen families were described. The results can proved with more information about the honey pollen and criteria for identification of honey species precisely.
