Abstract

The morphology of the common airborne pollen rains of 57 species were observed with SEM. The most frequently observed pollen can be distinguished by their fine wall structures. However, a few pollen grains like 2-or 3-porate pollen have quite similar morphology and can not be easily identified even under SEM. A more precise identification of airborne pollen was obtained.

中文摘要

本文以掃瞄電子顯微鏡觀察台北常出現的57種空中花粉之型態。大部分的花粉可以其表面為細構造來與其他近似的花粉區別,為某些具二孔或三孔的花粉,他們的大小、型態及為細花紋皆相似,較不易區分。本文對空中花粉提供更精確的描述。
