Bread mould, SEM C016 / 9050

Bread mould. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a black bread mould (Rhizopus stolonifer) sporangium (green, spherical). Sporangia are asexual reproductive structures where the moulds spores (blue, top) develop before being released into the air. Magnification: x1300 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a black bread mould, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a green, spherical sporangium, which serves as an asexual reproductive structure for the mould. Within this sporangium, blue spores can be seen developing before their eventual release into the air. With a magnification of x1300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, every detail of this botanical wonder is brought to life. Against a striking black background, the vibrant colors and delicate structures stand out in mesmerizing contrast. This photograph not only highlights the aesthetic appeal of nature but also provides valuable insights into fungal biology. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the complexity and diversity found within our natural world. From its anatomical features to its role in reproduction and dispersal, this image invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating realm of mycology. Captured by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library, this extraordinary piece exemplifies his expertise in scientific photography. Through his lens, we are granted access to hidden worlds that exist beyond our naked eye's perception.
