 Peepul Leaf Skeleton at 20 x magnification on a white background We have been looking at leaves at HomeLabs. First we cleared the soft tissue of a Peepul leaf by soaking it in water for 4 weeks. The soft tissue decomposes in those 4 weeks and easily comes off on brushing the leaf. What remains are the leaf veins. The lignin in the leaf veins does not decompose easily. These leaf veins transport food and water to the leaf and provides mechanical support to it. The video of how we made these leaves is shown below.
