Micro-CT scans of a Carex monostachya nutlet. (a) A transverse slice and (b) a longitudinal slice through the nutlet; phytoliths show up as green flecks. When segmented (c), large numbers of phytoliths are seen in both seed coat and outer regions of the endosperm, highlighting their position and distribution within the nutlet.
