  Hi Plantsurfer, I agree that paper from The Plant Cell has useful utilization of coloring: it helps to calculate area and perimeter of cells (I have one paper published with similar coloring). Nature rather disappointed me: no justification for coloring image. Yamada did not used pseudo colors, he just combined optical and SEM images.  Anaglyphs are still monochrome images – one red and one cyan. And we do not discuss X-ray data presentation. The last paper, from Micron, is rather childish; it is the Micron way to publish such a nonsense. By the way, I like coloring SEM pictures… So, colored images can look nice, but they should be avoided in publications.
