Scanning electron micrographs of the granules of 54 starches obtained from a wide variety of plant sources, consisting of roots and tubers, grains, maize, peas and beans, fruits and nuts, and small granule starches, are presented as a comparative study of their sizes and morphologies. All micrographs are presented at a magnification of 1500X with the addition of micrographs of 600X for the very large granules and micrographs of 10,000X for the very small granules.
