Elm stem, light micrograph
Elm stem (Ulmus procera) section, polarised light micrograph. The black horizontal lines are multiseriate rays, which are composed of several rows of cells. The vertical bands comprised of clusters of very small cells (light blue and yellow) are woody fibres, which support the stem. Magnification: x100 when printed 10 centimetres high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of an Elm stem when observed under polarised light micrograph. The image reveals a mesmerizing cross-section of the stem, providing a glimpse into its internal structure and anatomical composition. The black horizontal lines that traverse the image represent multiseriate rays, which consist of multiple rows of cells. These rays play a crucial role in transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant. Meanwhile, vertical bands composed of clusters of small cells in shades of light blue and yellow are woody fibres responsible for providing structural support to the stem. With a magnification level set at x100 when printed 10 centimetres high, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details within nature's design. It highlights how plants like Ulmus procera (Elm) possess remarkable cellular arrangements that contribute to their growth and survival. This stunning visual representation serves as a testament to botany's wonders and emphasizes the importance of understanding plant anatomy for various scientific disciplines. Whether you have an interest in biology, tissue research, or simply admire nature's complexity, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its striking portrayal of line patterns, cell structures, and botanical marvels found within angiosperms like Elm trees.
