InsideWood

InsideWood is an online resource and database for wood anatomy, serving as a reference, research, and teaching tool.

[3] The database contains categorized anatomical descriptions of wood based on the IAWA List of Microscopic Features for Hardwood and Softwood Identification, complemented by a comprehensive set of photomicrographs.

[4] Hosted by North Carolina State University Libraries, this digital collection encompasses CITES-listed timber species and other endangered woody plants.

Its significance lies in aiding wood identification through a multi-entry key, enabling searches based on the presence or absence of IAWA features.

Additionally, it functions as a virtual reference collection, allowing users to retrieve descriptions and images by searching scientific or common names, or other relevant keywords.
