Blackcurrant plant stem, light micrograph
Blackcurrant plant stem. Light micrograph of a cross-section through the stem of a blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) plant. The outer cortex (blue and pale brown) is made of cork cambium tissue, beneath which is a ring of phloem and sieve tube bundles (brown). Under this is a ring of cambium (blue) and then woody fibres (blue and pale brown). The solid pith (centre, blue and dark brown) is composed of large parenchyma cells. Magnification: x14 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a blackcurrant plant stem. The light micrograph reveals a cross-section that unveils the hidden wonders within this botanical structure. The outer cortex, depicted in shades of blue and pale brown, is composed of cork cambium tissue, providing protection to the inner layers. Beneath the cork cambium lies a ring of phloem and sieve tube bundles, represented by rich brown hues. This vascular tissue transports nutrients throughout the plant, ensuring its growth and vitality. Further inward, we encounter a ring of cambium cells in striking blue tones followed by woody fibers in varying shades of blue and pale brown. At the heart of this stem lies the solid pith, portrayed with mesmerizing blues and dark browns. Comprised of large parenchyma cells, it serves as a central support system for this remarkable plant. The meticulous magnification allows us to appreciate every detail when printed at 10 centimeters wide. Against a pristine white background, this image highlights not only the structural complexity but also celebrates nature's artistry found within plants like blackcurrants. This photograph provides an invaluable resource for botany enthusiasts or those seeking to explore biology's intricacies. It captures both scientific precision and aesthetic appeal while showcasing various tissues, cells, vessels present in angiosperms like Ribes nigrum (black currant).
