Fine Art Print : Section through stem of Oak tree
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Section through stem of Oak tree
Light micrograph of a transverse section of the stem of an oak tree Quercus robur. The micrograph shows the xylem, the part of the vascular bundle which is responsible for the transportation of water and minerals. The xylem appears here as yellow holes. The fine red lines radiating outwards consist of cells of the horizontal xylem called rays. The rays distribute water radially to the cambium and also act as storage centres for starch and lipids. The cells in the roundish area at left are pith cells, a region of parenchymatous tissue located at the centre of the stem of many plants. Magnification: x7 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section through the stem of an Oak tree, providing a fascinating glimpse into its inner workings. The light micrograph reveals the intricate network of the xylem, which plays a crucial role in transporting water and minerals throughout the tree. In this image, the xylem appears as vibrant yellow holes that form part of the vascular bundle. The mesmerizing red lines emanating from the center are composed of horizontal xylem cells known as rays. These rays not only distribute water radially to the cambium but also serve as storage centers for starch and lipids. Their delicate arrangement adds to the aesthetic beauty captured in this photograph. Nestled within this complex structure are roundish pith cells, representing parenchymatous tissue found at the core of many plants' stems. This region acts as a support system while also storing essential nutrients. With a magnification level of 7x at 35mm size, this image provides an up-close look at nature's remarkable design and highlights how plants efficiently transport vital resources for their growth and survival. This stunning print by Science Photo Library is perfect for anyone with an interest in botany or those who appreciate nature's intricate wonders.
