Bread mould, SEM C017 / 7128
Bread mould. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a sporangium of a bread mould (Mucor sp.). Sporangia are asexual reproductive structures where the moulds spores develop. When the spores are mature the sporangium will split open and release the spores into the air. Mangnification: x440 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of bread mould at a microscopic level. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a sporangium of a bread mould, specifically Mucor sp. Sporangia serve as the asexual reproductive structures where the spores of these fungi develop. Magnified to x440 and printed at 10 centimetres tall, this image reveals the remarkable details that would otherwise go unnoticed by our naked eye. The vibrant colours bring life to an otherwise unseen world, allowing us to appreciate the complexity and diversity found within nature's smallest creations. As the spores mature within the sporangium, it will eventually split open, liberating them into the air. This process ensures their dispersal and survival in various environments. The significance of such biological mechanisms lies not only in their ability to reproduce but also in their role within ecosystems. Mycology enthusiasts and microbiologists alike will find themselves captivated by this stunning portrayal of fungal reproduction. It serves as a reminder that even organisms often disregarded or considered undesirable can possess an inherent beauty when observed from a different perspective. This print is brought to you by MICROFIELD SCIENTIFIC LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY - experts who continue to unravel nature's mysteries through cutting-edge scientific imaging techniques like SEM microscopy.
