Stamens and carpels, SEM
Stamens and carpels. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the stamens (male, yellow) and carpels (female) of the Houttuynia cordata plant. The male reproductive organs are made up of a stalk (filament) that supports a bulbous pollen sac (anther). The female reproductive organ comprises a stigma that the male gametes land on, a stalk (style) and the ovary, where fertilization occurs. The Houttuynia cordata plant is used as a herb, for its antibacterial and astringent properties. It is found in the damp, wet habitats of eastern Asia. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of stamens and carpels, two essential reproductive structures found in plants. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the male and female organs of the Houttuynia cordata plant. The stamens, depicted in vibrant yellow, consist of a slender stalk known as a filament that supports an anther - a bulbous sac filled with pollen grains. On the other hand, the female reproductive organ is composed of three distinct parts: a stigma where male gametes land during pollination, a style acting as a connecting bridge between stigma and ovary, and finally, the ovary itself where fertilization takes place. Houttuynia cordata is not only visually stunning but also possesses remarkable medicinal properties. This herbaceous plant is renowned for its antibacterial and astringent qualities, making it highly valued in traditional medicine practices. Naturally thriving in damp habitats across eastern Asia, this species has adapted to flourish amidst wet conditions. The magnification used to capture this extraordinary image remains unknown; however, what is certain is that it offers us an awe-inspiring glimpse into the microscopic world within flowers. Science Photo Library presents yet another masterpiece that celebrates nature's wonders while reminding us of its immense potential for both scientific exploration and therapeutic applications.
