Verbena pollen, SEM
Verbena pollen. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of pollen grains from verbena bonariensis. Verbena bonariensis is a tall, slender-stemmed perennial. Pollen grains are the male sex cells of a flowering plant. Their characteristic surface is used by botanists to recognise and classify plants. Pollen in plants is used for transferring male genetic material from the anther of a single flower to the stigma of another in cross-pollination. In a case of self-pollination, this process takes place from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same flower. Magnification x 500 at 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Verbena pollen, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors and detailed structure of the pollen grains from Verbena bonariensis, a tall perennial plant with slender stems, are brought to life in this image. Pollen grains serve as the male sex cells of flowering plants, playing a crucial role in their reproduction. Botanists rely on the unique surface characteristics of pollen grains to identify and classify different plant species. In cross-pollination, these grains transfer genetic material from one flower's anther to another flower's stigma. This process allows for genetic diversity within plant populations. The magnification level used for this photograph is an impressive x 500 at 10cm wide, revealing even the tiniest details of each grain. The false coloring technique employed further enhances our appreciation for the intricacy and complexity found within nature. Steve Gschmeissner skillfully captures both scientific precision and artistic expression in this stunning image. Whether you're a botany enthusiast or simply drawn to visually striking prints, this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the hidden world of pollination – reminding us once again of nature's remarkable wonders.
