When I was at college in histoilogy class,way long time ago,  we stained our
tissue, then embedded in wax, then sliced into paper thin wafers to see the
internal structures of cells under the microscope. Would this be of any
help? While I don't remember the stains used, there are several standard
ones. I remember doing fruit fly chromosomes that way.

I thought about mentiioning this earlier.  But then I thought that using this method to check pigments wouldn't work.  Works great on chromosomes.
If it does work, more power to you all.

With wheat, we could remove a cell layer by sticking Scotch tape to the leaf and pulling it off.  But I doubt it would work on iris petals.  Wouldn't hurt to try, I guess.
