Periwinkle petal surface, SEM

Periwinkle petal. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a periwinkle flower petal (family Apocynaceae). Tiny epidermal hairs known as trichomes (pink) cover the surface of the petal. The petals of insect-pollinated plants are usually brightly-coloured and are often scented. Magnification: x80 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a periwinkle flower petal. The vibrant colors and delicate details are brought to life through the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In this close-up view, we can see the surface of the petal covered in tiny epidermal hairs called trichomes, which give it a unique texture. The pink trichomes create an enchanting contrast against the backdrop of the periwinkle's petals. These hairs not only add visual appeal but also serve important functions in plant reproduction. As insect-pollinated plants, periwinkles rely on their brightly-colored petals and enticing scent to attract pollinators. At a magnification of x80, this 6x7cm print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail that makes up this beautiful flowering part. The SEM technique used here provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of botany and plant biology. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply appreciate artistry in science, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. It serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity and complexity found within even the smallest parts of our natural world.
