Carnation flower pistil, SEM C016 / 0119
Carnation (Dianthus sp.) pistil, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Pistils hold a plants female reproductive structures. They contain one or more carpels, which, in turn, contain a stigma, style and an ovary. Within the ovaries are the ovules, the female gametes (sex cells). The ovaries are fertilised by pollen grains, the male gametes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Carnation flower pistil, captured through a scanning electron microscope. Against a striking black background, the vibrant pink hues of the petals and reproductive structures come to life. The pistil is the female reproductive organ of plants and plays a crucial role in their reproduction. Within the pistil, one or more carpels can be found, each containing essential components such as stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma acts as a landing platform for pollen grains while the style serves as a conduit for their journey towards fertilization within the ovary. Deep inside these ovaries lie tiny ovules - female gametes or sex cells that hold immense potential for new life. The mesmerizing details captured by this SEM image offer us an extraordinary glimpse into nature's remarkable design. It reminds us of how intricately interconnected every element of botanical life truly is – from pollination to fertilization – all orchestrated seamlessly to ensure successful reproduction. This photograph by Susumu Nishinaga from Science Photo Library not only celebrates the delicate beauty of carnations but also highlights fundamental biological processes at play in plant reproduction. It serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic appreciation for nature's wonders.
