Figure 7.

SEM images of a residual indent on the transverse section of B. europaea, taken in ‘backscattered’ (a) and ‘backscattered shadow’ (b) modes. The images show both the generation of a radial crack starting in proximity of the bottom corner, and the pile-up of material around the indent. The thin straight lines are residuals of the polishing procedure.
