Anatomical features of medicinal plants are diagnostic features used for identifi cation (authentication). The aim of the study was to examine the anatomy of the fruit Sophora japonica. Preparation of plant material for microscopic examination and analysis was performed using micropreparations pharmacopoeial methods. Prepared Microscopic examined with a microscope series LW 200 T. For a more complete description of the object used different histochemical reactions. The investigations revealed anatomical features of the epidermis of the pericarp of fruits Sophora japonica, studied the type and structure of stomata its outer layer. Investigated loosely-cell parenchyma, located beneath the epidermis of the pericarp, established the presence in it of small vascular bundles with annular vessels, and drusen spherocrystals spherocrystals brown sizes. Revealed three-layer structure of the seed coat fruit Sophora japonica and study the structure of the individual layers. The presence mucus-bearing parenchyma between the embryo and testa, studied the structure of its cells. Identifi ed anatomical and diagnostic features Sophora japonica fruit can be used in the drafting of the new pharmacopoeia article on the raw materials.
