Canvas Print : Nigella seed, SEM
Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
Nigella seed, SEM
Nigella seed. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a seed from a nigella flower (family Ranunculaceae). A seed contains an embryo (a fertilised ovule from which a new plant can grow), and a supply of food. The food is used either while the embryo grows within the developing seed, or during germination. Seed shapes and surface textures vary widely, affecting how they are dispersed from their parent plant. Seed dispersal methods include being carried by the wind, or water or on animal coats, or being eaten and deposited in animal droppings. Nigella seeds are used as a culinary spice. The plants are native to southern Europe, north Africa and southwest Asia. Magnification: x1000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Nigella seed, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors and detailed structure of this seed from the nigella flower, belonging to the Ranunculaceae family, are truly mesmerizing. Within this tiny seed lies an embryo, which is essentially a fertilized ovule capable of giving birth to new life. Additionally, it contains a nourishing supply of food that sustains the growing embryo or aids in its germination process. The wide array of shapes and surface textures found in seeds greatly influence how they disperse from their parent plant. Nature has devised various methods for seed dispersal including wind transportation, water carriage, attachment to animal coats, or even being consumed and later deposited through animal droppings. Interestingly enough, nigella seeds serve not only as a botanical wonder but also as a culinary spice widely used in kitchens worldwide. Native to southern Europe, north Africa, and southwest Asia; these plants have become an integral part of horticulture due to their unique characteristics. With magnification at x1000 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image allows us to appreciate the hidden wonders within nature's reproductive processes while highlighting the importance of seeds in sustaining our ecosystem.
