Abstract

Wood performs a vascular and structural function in trees. In this study we used the double-crystal diffractometer BT5 at the NIST Center for Neutron Scattering (Gaithersburg, USA) to study the pore structure inside wood sections. The slit-smeared intensity of scattered neutrons was measured from wood sections in directions parallel, orthogonal and transverse to the tree's trunk axis over a scattering vector range 0.00004ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“0.002 ÃƒÆ’Ã†'Ãƒ"šÃ†'ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒ"šÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ÃƒÂ¢Ã‹" Ã¢â‚¬â„¢1. The interpretation of the data in terms of a reductionist model consisting of infinitely long cylinders (cell lumens) is discussed.
