young leaf of Chenopodium album with bubble hairs.
Probably these hairs are used for salt excretion.
Objective 10x, incident light with flash, 17 pics stacked with heliconfocus.

You know Gerd, I have never heard of "bubble hairs." As a matter of fact I have not heard of Chenopodium album either but now I have. An unusual and interesting shot Gerd, nice. :D
