Hazel pollen grains, SEM C018 / 0308
Hazel pollen grains, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Hazel pollen is distributed by the wind from catkins. The pollen is very small and light, enabling it to be carried long distances on the breeze. It can cause allergic reactions, including hay fever. Pollen grains are reproductive structures produced by the male parts of flowering plants

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of hazel pollen grains, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). These tiny reproductive structures, produced by the male parts of flowering plants known as angiosperms, play a crucial role in plant reproduction. Hazel pollen is distributed by the wind from catkins and possesses unique characteristics that enable it to travel long distances on gentle breezes. However, its minuscule size and lightweight nature also make it a common culprit for triggering allergic reactions such as hay fever. As an allergen, hazel pollen can cause discomfort and respiratory issues for those sensitive to its presence. The green background enhances the vibrant hues of these microscopic particles while emphasizing their botanical significance. The quartet arrangement of hazel pollen grains creates an aesthetically pleasing composition that highlights their symmetrical patterns. This stunning image not only provides insight into the fascinating world of botany but also serves as a reminder of how even something as seemingly insignificant as pollen can have profound effects on our health and environment. It stands as a testament to the power and precision of scientific imaging techniques like SEM, allowing us to appreciate nature's intricacies at an entirely new level.
