The scientific supervisor of my internship was Dr. Agnieszka Adamczuk. The aim of the internship was to improve professional competences, including gaining theoretical knowledge and practical skills to work in a&nbsp;modern physicochemical laboratory. During the internship, I&nbsp;became acquainted with issues in the field of physicochemistry of the surface of agricultural materials. As part of the internship, I&nbsp;conducted microscopic analyzes of winter wheat (<em>Triticum aestivum<\/em> L.) leaves sprayed with bioproducts (mixtures of plant extracts) using a&nbsp;scanning electron microscope (SEM). These tasks included the preparation of plant samples for microscopic observation (gold sputtering), and then the study of morphological and anatomical features (observations of cross-sections of leaves under a&nbsp;light microscope).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/up.lublin.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/kw_staz_002.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-362569\" src=\"https:\/\/up.lublin.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/kw_staz_002.png\" alt=\"Pr\u00f3bki li\u015bci pszenicy w&nbsp;trakcie nakrapiania z\u0142otem \" width=\"852\" height=\"639\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/up.lublin.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/kw_staz_004.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-362573\" src=\"https:\/\/up.lublin.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/kw_staz_004.png\" alt=\"Pr\u00f3bki li\u015bci pszenicy po nakrapianiu z\u0142otem \" width=\"527\" height=\"643\" \/><\/a>Photo 1 and 2. Wheat leaf samples during and after gold spotting<\/p>\n<p>As part of the evaluation of the contact angles, I&nbsp;carried out measurements of the wettability of the plant surface with a&nbsp;mixture of plant extracts by determining the angle between the wetted surface of the solid and the tangent to the surface of the drop of the direct wetting drop, derived from its point of contact with the surface of the solid. The internship allowed me to learn new topics in the field of e.g. scanning microscopy, surface properties of porous solids and surface wettability. Thanks to this, I&nbsp;will be able to honestly analyze the assumptions and parameters included in my Individual Research Plan.<\/p>\n                                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"mn-content-block\">\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSc.
