Xylem, LM. Xylem tissue. Light micrograph (LM) of a section through sunflower
Xylem tissue. Light micrograph (LM) of a section through sunflower(helianthus annuus) tissue showing spiral tracheids, a type of xylem. Tracheids are long tubular cells with lignin, a material that provides support, in the cell walls. Spiral thickening of the cells can be seen. Tracheids conduct water from the roots of a plant along the stems to the leaves. Magnification: x210 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of xylem tissue in a sunflower. The light micrograph reveals a section through the tissue, showcasing spiral tracheids, a specific type of xylem cells. These long tubular cells play a vital role in plant physiology by conducting water from the roots to the leaves. The image showcases the remarkable structure and functionality of these tracheids. Lignin, which provides support and strength to plants, is clearly visible in their cell walls. Additionally, one can observe the fascinating spiral thickening pattern within these cells. Taken at a magnification of x210 and printed 10cm wide, this horizontal photograph allows us to appreciate nature's microscopic wonders on a larger scale. It invites viewers into an intriguing world where science meets art. With its scientific focus and meticulous detail, this image appeals not only to biologists but also to those with an appreciation for natural beauty. Its composition highlights both precision and elegance while offering insight into the inner workings of plant life. Whether displayed in educational institutions or as part of personal collections, this stunning print serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, nature never ceases to amaze us with its complexity and aesthetic appeal.
