Summary

Hv light scattering patterns from single wood fibers were photographically recorded using a laser-based light scattering apparatus. The patterns were semi-quantitatively interpreted with the help of a simplified model for the structure of the wood fiber using computer-assisted procedures. It was concluded that the organization of crystalline cellulose in the helically wound fibrils of the secondary wall is of biaxial type.
