Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Wood, light micrograph
Wood. Light micrograph of a transverse section through wood showing annual growth rings (near horizontal bands). A years growth consists of a porous band, which is the slow winter growth, and a more dense band, which is the faster summer growth. The Xylem vessels (large holes) are also seen in the wood. The xylem transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant. Its thick lignin walls also provide structural support for the stem

Discover the beauty of nature's intricate patterns with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating image of "Wood, Light Micrograph" from Science Photo Library. This mesmerizing poster showcases the intricacy of a transverse section through wood, revealing the annual growth rings. Each growth ring represents a year's worth of growth, with the slower winter growth appearing as a porous band. Bring this stunning representation of the natural world into your home or office and let it inspire awe and appreciation for the wonders of science and nature.
Premium quality poster prints are printed on luxurious semi-gloss satin 270 gsm paper. Our meticulously crafted poster prints offer an affordable option for decorating any space, making them ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, offices and beyond. To ensure your poster arrives in good condition, we roll and send them in strong mailing tubes.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of wood under a light microscope. The image captures a transverse section through wood, revealing the mesmerizing annual growth rings that form near-horizontal bands. Each year's growth is represented by two distinct bands - a porous one indicating slow winter growth and a denser band representing faster summer growth. The wood section also displays prominent xylem vessels, which are large holes responsible for transporting water and mineral nutrients throughout the plant. These vessels play a crucial role in sustaining the life of trees by facilitating essential resource distribution from roots to other parts of the plant. Moreover, this micrograph highlights how lignin, with its thick walls, provides structural support to the stem. Lignin not only contributes to the overall strength and stability of woody plants but also adds an aesthetic appeal to their appearance. By delving into such microscopic details, botanists and biologists can gain valuable insights into dendrochronology (the study of tree rings) as well as better understand various aspects related to plant biology and tissue structure. This remarkable print serves as a reminder of nature's complexity and offers us an opportunity to appreciate both its functional mechanisms and artistic patterns found within even seemingly ordinary objects like wood.
