When entering the phase of industrial application new possibilities have to be combined with a knowledge of the demands of the users concerning product quality production efficiency etc. It is also crucial to understand the natural variability of the wild-type plants and age-to-age relationships. Efficient measurement methods are key factors for progress in this field in both research and operation. At STFI the Swedish Pulp and Paper Research Institute new tools and knowledge for improved wood and fiber utilization have been developed. Methods for the characterization of wood and fiber properties are emphasized. In this paper measurement methods and variability in wood and fiber properties are illustrated. The methods used at STFI are useful not only for research on pulp and paper but may contribute also to projects in wood technology forestry tree improvement and biotechnology. wood fiber property characterization application Résumé - La caractérisation rapide des propriétés du bois et des fibres. Une clé pour la recherche et les industries forestieres. Ces dernières années ont connu un développement remarquable en matière de biotechnologie. Pour passer aux applications industrielles ces nouvel-les possibilités doivent être confrontées aux demandes des utilisateurs concernant la qualité des produits ou la productivité des procédés. Il est crucial aussi de bien maĩtriser la variabilité des individus en peuplements naturels et les relations juvéniles adultes au sein d un même arbre. Pour répondre à ces objectifs aussi bien au stade de la recherche que
