An algoriphm for plant parenchimal cell delineation is developed. It works with digital photos made by polarized light microscope and allows digitize many parameter of each
cell thus providing a lot of data characterizing plant tissue. Examples are given for unisratose lamina of leaves of two closely related moss species, Plagiomnium elatum and
P. medium. We demonstrate a comparison of dimensional patterns in leaves and ability of formalization of such a structural character as arrangement of cells in oblique rows.
Key words: parenchyma cells, cell areolation, polarized light microscopy, cell size
