Description
The wood collection CNR-IBE-XYLARIUM includes about 12,000 wooden tablets of about 5,700 different species from all continents, and the anatomical preparations of the three fundamental sections of about 4,000 species. The collection is made of both macroscopic samples (tablets of about 7 x 14 x 0,5 cm) and microscopic samples (anatomical preparations to be observed under the optical microscope). In addition, a collection of about 4,000 wood samples (secondary xilotheque, exchange xilotheque) is maintained for the exchange of samples with other collections or for the formation of specific collections for schools, institutions, etc. Other specific collections include about 150 Brazilian woods in the form of book-shaped tablets; 30 Gabon woods in the form of pocket booklets; a box donated by the École Supérieure du Bois in Nantes (France) containing samples of about 80 African woods. All material is stored and managed on magnetic support.
