Dog rose stem, light micrograph
Dog rose stem. Polarised light micrograph of a cross-section through the stem of a dog rose (Rosa canina) plant. The outer cortex (black and red) is made of cork cambium tissue, beneath which is a ring of phloem and sieve tube bundles (yellow). Under this is a ring of cambium (dark blue) and then woody fibres (green). The solid pith (centre, blue) is composed of large parenchyma cells. Magnification: x14 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of a dog rose stem in extraordinary detail. Through the lens of a light microscope, we are granted a glimpse into the inner workings of this botanical wonder. The cross-section reveals a complex arrangement of tissues and cells that make up the structure of the stem. The outer cortex, depicted in striking black and red hues, consists of cork cambium tissue which serves as protection for the plant. Just beneath it lies a ring of phloem and sieve tube bundles, represented by vibrant yellow colors. These components play crucial roles in transporting nutrients throughout the plant. Further inward, we encounter a ring of cambium portrayed in dark blue tones followed by woody fibers presented in shades of green. This combination provides strength and support to the stem. At its core lies solid pith composed of large parenchyma cells depicted in captivating blue shades. The circular composition against a contrasting blue background adds to the visual appeal while emphasizing nature's inherent symmetry. This image not only showcases the remarkable intricacies found within plants but also highlights their importance as living organisms with complex anatomical structures. With an impressive magnification level, this print allows us to appreciate these microscopic details on a larger scale when printed at 10 centimeters wide. It is truly an awe-inspiring testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression brought together seamlessly by Science Photo Library.
