Magnolia stem, SEM C015 / 5124

Magnolia stem. Coloured environmental scanning electron micrograph (ESEM) of a transverse section through the stem of a Magnolia sp. plant. At centre is the pith, which consists of soft, spongy parenchyma cells. Outside of this is the secondary xylem, which transports water and nutrients around the plant. The next ring consists of secondary phloem, which transports carbohydrates and hormones around the plant. Outside of this are the cortex, periderm and bark (brown)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Magnolia stem, revealing its hidden wonders through the lens of an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). The image captures a transverse section of the stem, offering a glimpse into the plant's internal structure and functions. At the center of this mesmerizing composition lies the pith, composed of soft and spongy parenchyma cells. Surrounding it is the secondary xylem, responsible for transporting vital water and nutrients throughout the plant. The next ring features secondary phloem, which plays a crucial role in distributing carbohydrates and hormones essential for growth and development. As we venture further outward from these vital transport systems, we encounter layers such as cortex, periderm, and bark that protect and support the magnolia stem. The rich brown hues add depth to this botanical marvel. Expertly captured by Thierry Berrod from Mona Lisa Production/Science Photo Library using advanced histological techniques with colored ESEM imaging technology; this photograph not only showcases nature's exquisite artistry but also serves as a valuable resource for botany enthusiasts and researchers alike. Immerse yourself in this stunning visual representation that unravels nature's secrets at microscopic levels while celebrating the delicate yet robust magnificence found within every inch of our natural world.
