Melon pollen, SEM
Melon pollen. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of melon (Cucumis melo) pollen grains. Pollen grains are the male gametes (sex cells) of a plant. These pollen grains have a sticky surface, which helps them to adhere to pollinating insects aiding the spread of the grains

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of melon pollen grains, as captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The false coloration adds an artistic touch to this scientific marvel. Melon pollen plays a crucial role in plant reproduction, serving as the male gametes or sex cells of the Cucumis melo species. The sticky surface of these pollen grains is clearly visible in this image, enabling them to adhere to pollinating insects. This unique adaptation aids in the efficient spread and fertilization of melon plants. As pollinators brush against these grains during their foraging activities, they unknowingly transport them from one flower to another, facilitating cross-pollination. The detailed SEM reveals the delicate structure and texture of each individual grain. From its irregular shape to its distinct cellular patterns, every aspect highlights nature's remarkable design at a microscopic level. By capturing such mesmerizing images, scientists gain valuable insights into the biology and reproductive mechanisms of plants. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this momentous snapshot that combines artistry with scientific exploration. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary objects like pollen grains lies extraordinary complexity waiting to be discovered by those who delve deeper into nature's wonders.
