Fine Art Print : Leaf of Sphagnum moss
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Leaf of Sphagnum moss
Light micrograph of the leaf of the bog moss, Sphagnum sp.. A continuous network of true cells (green) surrounds numerous wide, partitioned chambers (white). The true cells are highly elongated and contain chloroplasts (circular green bodies), the sites of photosynthesis within the cell. The partitioned chambers retain water and give the plant its sponge-like properties. Because of its water holding capacity, sphagnum is used as a packing material for the transportation of other cultivated plants. Magnification: x400 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a leaf from the bog moss, Sphagnum sp. Under the lens of a light micrograph, we are presented with an enchanting view of this unique plant's structure. The leaf is composed of a continuous network of true cells, depicted in vibrant green hues, which enclose numerous wide and partitioned chambers portrayed in striking white. The elongated true cells play a crucial role in photosynthesis as they contain chloroplasts - circular green bodies responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it into energy within the cell. However, what truly sets sphagnum apart is its sponge-like properties derived from these partitioned chambers that retain water. This exceptional water-holding capacity has led to sphagnum being widely used as packing material for transporting other cultivated plants. At a magnification level of x400 at 35mm size, this image allows us to appreciate the mesmerizing intricacies present within nature's botanical wonders. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary organisms like mosses can possess extraordinary features and contribute significantly to various industries beyond their natural habitats. Captured by Science Photo Library, this photograph not only highlights the scientific significance but also celebrates the inherent beauty found within every leaf of Sphagnum moss.
