Coltsfoot leaf stomata, SEM C016 / 8052
Coltsfoot leaf stomata. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of two stomata (round) on the surface of a leaf from a coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) plant. Stomata are pores that are the site of gaseous exchange in the plant. The opening and closing of the stomata is controlled by semicircular guard cells (dark), which swell and become turgid to close the openings. Magnification: x1504, when printed 10 centimetres high

Colored Guard Cell Plants Pore Stoma Stomata Structures Cells Coltsfoot Tussilago Farfara
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of coltsfoot leaf stomata, revealing a mesmerizing world hidden from the naked eye. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), two round stomata are prominently displayed on the surface of a Tussilago farfara leaf. These stomata serve as vital pores responsible for gaseous exchange within the plant. The image highlights the remarkable control exerted by semicircular guard cells, depicted in dark hues, which regulate the opening and closing of these microscopic openings. When turgid, these guard cells swell to seal off the stomatal apertures. With a magnification of x1504, even minute details become apparent when printed at 10 centimetres high. Through its vibrant colours and meticulous detail, this photograph offers an exquisite insight into botanical anatomy and cellular structures. It encapsulates both nature's complexity and its delicate balance that sustains life forms such as angiosperms like Tussilago farfara. Stefan Diller's masterful capture not only celebrates scientific exploration but also invites us to marvel at the wonders found in our natural world. This image serves as a reminder that beneath every seemingly ordinary leaf lies an extraordinary tapestry of biological marvels waiting to be discovered.
