EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a dicotyledon root. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a glimpse into the young, natural world of plant anatomy. The image reveals a transverse section through an immature root, highlighting its fascinating structure and cellular composition. At the center of the image lies the vascular tissue, surrounded by a vast cortex and outer epidermis. The magnification level of x80 allows us to appreciate even the finest details when printed at 10 centimeters wide. Each layer and cell within this botanical wonder is brought to life with vibrant hues, adding depth to our understanding of its biological makeup. Through this SEM, we gain insight into the complex anatomical features that make up dicotyledonous plants – angiosperms characterized by two embryonic leaves or cotyledons. This microscopic view emphasizes how these roots are sectioned off into distinct layers, each playing a crucial role in supporting growth and nutrient absorption. The work of photographer Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library captures not only scientific precision but also artistic brilliance. This stunning print serves as a reminder that nature's wonders extend far beyond what meets the eye - inviting us to explore further into the hidden realms of botany and flora.
