Lily carpel, LM
Lily carpel. Light micrograph of a cross-section through a lily flower carpel (Lilium sp.), showing the three fused leaves that make up the pistil. The edges of these curl inwards and bear the placentas, which in turn house the ovules (yellow ovals). Each ovule contains an ovum, or female sex cell (not seen). Magnification: x14 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lily Carpels, LM" showcases the intricate beauty of a lily flower's reproductive structure. The image, captured using a light microscope, reveals a cross-section through the carpel of a lily (Lilium sp. ). Composed of three fused leaves, known as pistils, this delicate floral part is truly mesmerizing. The edges of these fused leaves elegantly curl inwards and bear the placentas that house numerous ovules. These ovules are depicted as yellow ovals within the image. Each ovule contains an essential component for reproduction - an ovum or female sex cell; although not visible in this particular micrograph. Printed at 10 centimeters wide with a magnification factor of x14, this photograph allows us to appreciate the remarkable details present within nature's creations. It provides an intimate look into the internal anatomy and development process of flowering plants. With its focus on botany and plant biology, this print serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. It highlights how biological structures function together harmoniously to ensure successful reproduction in plants. This stunning visual representation from Science Photo Library reminds us once again why we should marvel at nature's wonders and appreciate the intricate complexities found even in seemingly simple flowers like lilies.
