Greetings Card : Red campion seed, SEM
Cards from Science Photo Library
Red campion seed, SEM
Red campion seed. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a seed from a red campion flower (Silene dioica). A seed contains an embryo (a fertilised ovule from which a new plant can grow), and a supply of food. The food is used either while the embryo grows within the developing seed, or during germination. Seed shapes and surface textures vary widely, affecting how they are dispersed from their parent plant. Seed dispersal methods include being carried by the wind, or water or on animal coats, or being eaten and deposited in animal droppings. Red campion flowers, red or pink, are native to Europe. Magnification: x1250 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a red campion seed, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the remarkable structure and nature of this reproductive part of the plant. Red campion flowers, native to Europe, are known for their vibrant red or pink hues. In this SEM image, we can observe the seed's unique features in stunning detail. Each seed contains an embryo - a fertilized ovule that holds the potential for new life to sprout forth. Additionally, it houses a vital supply of food necessary for either sustaining growth within the developing seed or aiding germination. The wide variety of shapes and surface textures found among seeds greatly influence how they disperse from their parent plants. Some rely on wind currents or water flow to carry them away, while others hitch rides on animal coats or pass through animals' digestive systems before being deposited in droppings. With its false-colored presentation and magnification at x1250 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this photograph not only highlights the biological intricacies but also serves as an artistic representation of botanical wonders. It is a testament to both scientific exploration and appreciation for nature's marvels.
