Chloroplast in the leaf of a pea plant
False colour transmisson electron micrograph of a chloroplast in the leaf of a pea plant Pisum sativum. The chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis; the process by which plants obtain carbohydrates from carbon dioxide using the energy from sunlight. The contents of the chloroplast are bound together by a double membrane. Internally, the chloroplasts consists of stacks of flattened membranes called grana (black threadlike) suspended in a matrix of hydrophilic proteins. The grana contain the chlorophyll pigments & are the sites of light reactions during photosynthesis. The large white oval is a starch body, one of the products of photosynthesis.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a chloroplast in the leaf of a pea plant, Pisum sativum. Through false color transmission electron microscopy, we are able to witness the inner workings of this vital organelle responsible for photosynthesis. The chloroplast is enclosed by a double membrane, holding its contents together with precision. Internally, we observe stacks of flattened membranes known as grana suspended in a matrix of hydrophilic proteins. These grana play a crucial role in capturing sunlight and facilitating light reactions during photosynthesis. Their black threadlike appearance adds an element of beauty to this microscopic world. Highlighted prominently within this image is a large white oval starch body - one of the products generated through photosynthesis. This serves as evidence that plants utilize carbon dioxide and sunlight energy to produce carbohydrates essential for their growth and survival. With magnification at 50,000 times (at 10x inch size), every detail becomes apparent; each component contributing to the complex machinery that sustains life on our planet. This photograph not only exemplifies botanical science but also reminds us of nature's extraordinary ability to convert light into nourishment for all living organisms.
