Bamboo stem, SEM C015 / 5073

Bamboo stem. Coloured environmental scanning electron micrograph (ESEM) of a section through the stem of a bamboo plant (family Gramineae), showing a vascular bundle. Vascular bundles consists of xylem (larger openings) and phloem vessels (smaller openings). Xylem transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant, while phloem transports carbohydrates and plant hormones around the plant

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Bamboo stem, SEM C015 / 5073" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of plant anatomy. Taken using an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), this coloured micrograph showcases a section through the stem of a bamboo plant from the Gramineae family. The image reveals a fascinating vascular bundle within the bamboo stem. Composed of xylem and phloem vessels, these bundles play crucial roles in transporting essential substances throughout the plant. The larger openings belong to the xylem, responsible for carrying water and mineral nutrients from the roots to all parts of the bamboo. On the other hand, smaller openings represent phloem vessels that transport carbohydrates and vital plant hormones across various regions. THIERRY BERROD's expertise in capturing botanical structures is evident in this stunning piece. The vibrant hues emphasize both its scientific significance and aesthetic appeal. This print serves as a testament to nature's remarkable complexity while highlighting botany's role in understanding our flora. With its detailed depiction of anatomical features and meticulous attention to detail, this photograph provides an insightful journey into histology – revealing how plants function on a microscopic level. Whether you are captivated by biology or simply appreciate natural beauty, this artwork invites you to explore one of Earth's most intriguing organisms: bamboo.
