The shape of the fiber in the cotton boll just before natural dehydration was studied by different preparation techniques. The results all pointed to the fact that never dried fibers have a circular cross section. Therefore, a simple observation of never dried fibers on equatorial optical plane provides a correct evaluation of basic dimensional parameters such as section diameter and wall thickness.
