The mechanical integrity of the interface between two adjacent cells in spruce late wood was studied by uniaxial compression of focused ion beam machined micro-pillars of double cell walls (DCW) containing the compound middle lamella (CML). The DCW reveals a lower yield strength and stiffness than the secondary cell wall (S2). Failure occurs by tearing of the interface between the first (S1) and second layers (S2) of the secondary cell wall exposing the internal arrangement of the microfibrils, while the CML remains intact.
