Framed Print : Maize pollen grain, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Maize pollen grain, SEM
Pollen grain. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a maize plant pollen grain (Zea mays). There is great variation in the size, shape and surface texture of pollen. The outer wall (exine) is highly sculpted in many plants, which may assist in dispersal. Each pollen grain contains a male gamete, which fertilises the eggs or ovules, initiating the formation of plant seeds. Magnification: x795 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a maize pollen grain, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the remarkable diversity in size, shape, and surface texture that exists among different types of pollen. In this particular grain from Zea mays, commonly known as corn, the outer wall or exine is highly sculpted—a characteristic shared by many plant species. This unique sculpting may play a crucial role in aiding the dispersal of pollen. Each individual pollen grain contains a male gamete—an essential component for fertilizing eggs or ovules and initiating seed formation in plants. With its magnification set at an impressive x795 on a 6x7cm scale, this photograph offers us an up-close glimpse into the microscopic world of nature's reproductive processes. Beyond its scientific significance, this image also highlights the vital connection between agriculture and our daily lives. Maize is one of humanity's most important food crops and plays a significant role in global agriculture. By capturing such detailed images of these tiny grains responsible for reproduction and crop production, we gain valuable insights into botany and agricultural practices. This stunning SEM micrograph serves as a reminder that even within seemingly small structures like cells and grains lie immense complexity and beauty—testament to the wonders found throughout nature's intricate tapestry.
