LM of the surface of a sycamore leaf
Light micrograph of the surface of a leaf of the sycamore tree, Acer pseudoplatanus. The six small oval structures visible on the leaf surface are stomata (pores), which provide the plant with a means of gaseous exchange between the atmosphere & the internal tissues. The pores are held open during the day & are closed at night to conserve water. Surrounding each stoma are two curved lip- like guard cells which control the opening & closing of the pore.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a sycamore leaf's surface, captured through a light micrograph. The image reveals six small oval structures known as stomata or pores, which play a vital role in the plant's gaseous exchange with its surroundings. These stomata serve as channels for the flow of gases between the atmosphere and internal tissues of the leaf. During daylight hours, these tiny openings remain open to facilitate gas absorption and release, allowing photosynthesis to occur efficiently. However, at nightfall, they close up tightly to conserve water within the leaf structure. What makes this image even more fascinating are the two curved lip-like guard cells surrounding each stoma. These specialized cells act as gatekeepers, controlling whether the pore should be open or closed based on environmental conditions such as humidity levels and light intensity. With a magnification of x400 at 35mm size, this nature-inspired photograph from Science Photo Library provides us with an extraordinary glimpse into botany's wonders. It reminds us of how plants have evolved remarkable mechanisms to adapt and survive in their environments while also highlighting their inherent beauty found within every leaf and cell structure.
