The refractive index of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) leaf cell walls was measured by two methods. The refractive index of fully hydrated walls in the living leaf was about 1.415, while that of dried cell walls was about 1.53. The refractive index of the external surface of the living leaf hair was 1.48.
