MSc in Wood Science - Wood Anatomy and Ultrastructure in Syracuse United States | SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry

Students passionate about Wood Anatomy and Ultrastructure should hold a bachelor's degree in wood anatomy or biological sciences. They must acquire comprehensive knowledge in various microscopy techniques: light, scanning electron, transmission electron, video microscopy, and image analysis, along with specimen preparation methods tailored to each instrument. Wood anatomy research is fundamental for wood identification, practical applications, and understanding physical/mechanical characteristics, potentially involving specimens from diverse global regions. Ultrastructure represents a vast field with uses across biological, chemical, and materials science disciplines. When applied to wood, it focuses on structures below 0.2 micrometers, examining both mature wood and developing cellular components to understand their contributions to final wood formation.
