Mirabilis anthers, light micrograph
Mirabilis anthers, light micrograph. These anthers, seen from the side, are from Mirabilis jalapa, the four o clock flower. The anthers and the filament (lower right) together form a stamen. Anthers are the pollen-producing structures of flowers. The anther at centre is partially open along its stromium, showing partially seen pollen grains (white and yellow). The illumination is a mixture of incandescent and ultraviolet light. Magnification: x100 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Mirabilis anthers, as captured under a light microscope. These anthers belong to the Mirabilis jalapa, commonly known as the four o'clock flower. The image provides a side view of the anthers and their filaments, which together form a stamen - one of the essential reproductive parts of flowers. The partially open central anther reveals its delicate stromium, allowing us to catch a glimpse of pollen grains in shades of white and yellow. The stunning illumination technique combines incandescent and ultraviolet light, enhancing the vibrant colors and details within this microscopic world. With a magnification level of x100 when printed at 10 centimeters tall, this photograph offers us a closer look into nature's remarkable design. It serves as a reminder that even in minuscule structures like these pollen-producing organs, there is extraordinary complexity and precision. Through this image, we delve into various scientific disciplines such as botany, biology, and floral reproduction. Moreover, it highlights the significance of pollination processes for plant survival while showcasing how ultraviolet light plays a role in their reproductive cycle. This visually striking print from Science Photo Library encapsulates both artistic appeal and scientific curiosity by capturing the mesmerizing intricacies found within Mirabilis anthers.
