EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a flower stigma, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant yellow stigma and green style are essential components of a plant's female reproductive structures. As nature's delicate dance unfolds, pollen grains, the male reproductive cells of flowers, gracefully land on the stigma. From there, they embark on an incredible journey, burrowing down through the style to reach the ovary. The magnification level of this print is x40 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, allowing us to appreciate even the tiniest details of this botanical wonder. The false-coloured SEM image reveals stunning textures and patterns that would otherwise remain hidden to our naked eyes. This mesmerizing photograph not only highlights the remarkable complexity and diversity found in plants but also serves as a testament to their crucial role in reproduction. It offers us a glimpse into the fascinating world of botany and plant anatomy while reminding us of nature's awe-inspiring ability to create life. Whether you have an interest in biology or simply appreciate the wonders of our natural world, this print from Science Photo Library is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about these extraordinary flowering structures.
