Bog moss, SEM
Bog moss. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of bog moss (Sphagnum sp.). Magnification: x350 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

Liverwort spore capsule, light micrograph. Longitudinal section through the thallus and sporangium of a liverwort (Jungammania sp.) The sporangium (spore capsule)

Knotted wrack seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum). This is a common brown seaweed. Mid-way along its fronds are air bladders (bubbles)

Thongweed. Tide coming in over thongweed (Himanthalia elongata). This seaweed consists of round button-like thalli and long thin reproductive fronds. Photographed on the south- west coast of Ireland

Seaweeds
Assorted seaweeds. Seaweeds are often collected for use as a fertiliser as they are rich in nutrients, especially rarer nutrients such as iodine

Carrageen red seaweed (Chondrus crispus). The thallus (plant body) of this seaweed is dichotomously branched. This seaweed is found on rocky shores around the British and Irish coasts

Bladder wrack seaweed (Fucus vesiculosus) thallus in a rocky shore. The name of the seaweed derives from the paired air bladders visible on either side of the midrib of the fronds
