%0 Journal Article %T Localization of Aluminum in Epidermal Cells of Mature Tea Leaves %J Quantum Beam Science | An Open Access Journal from MDPI %D 2019 %R https://doi.org/10.3390/qubs3020009 %X We have determined the distribution of aluminum in the epidermal cells of mature tea leaves using micro-beam particle-induced X-ray emission. The observed pattern of aluminum distribution in the epidermal cells suggests that aluminum exists in cell walls. Silicon exhibits a distribution that is nearly identical to that of aluminum, suggesting co-localization with aluminum. View Full-Tex %U https://www.mdpi.com/2412-382X/3/2/9
