Flowers, SEM
Reproductive flower parts. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of unidentified flowers. The sepals (green) surround and protect central reproductive parts (yellow). In the flower at top, the tip of the carpel (female reproductive part) is just visible. This tip is the stigma on which pollen lands during pollination. Magnification: x10 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of flowers at a microscopic level. Through the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), we are able to explore the reproductive parts of these unidentified flowers in stunning detail. The image reveals a cluster of flowers, each surrounded and protected by vibrant green sepals. These protective structures encase the central reproductive parts, which are depicted in a striking shade of yellow. At the topmost flower, we catch a glimpse of the carpel's tip - the stigma - where pollen lands during pollination. With a magnification level of x10 and printed at 6x7cm size, this print allows us to appreciate nature's artistry on an intimate scale. The delicate structures and precise arrangement within these flowers highlight their remarkable complexity. This print is not just visually appealing; it also serves as an educational tool for botany enthusiasts and researchers alike. It offers valuable insights into flower anatomy, reproduction, and plant structure. By capturing such detailed images through SEM technology, Science Photo Library continues to contribute to our understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
