Open stomata, SEM

Open stomata. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of open stomata on the surface of a tobacco leaf (Nicotiana tabacum). Stomata are pores found on the leaf surface that regulate the exchange of gases between the leafs interior and the atmosphere. Stomatal closure is a natural response to darkness or drought as a means of conserving water. Each pore is controlled by two guard cells (red); the pores open when they are full of water and close when they lose water. Some of the pores are still growing (upper right and lower left). Magnification: X440 at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of open stomata on a tobacco leaf. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the delicate details of these tiny pores that play a crucial role in regulating gas exchange between the leaf's interior and the atmosphere. Stomatal closure, triggered by darkness or drought, is an essential mechanism for water conservation. The image captures numerous open stomata, each controlled by two vibrant red guard cells. These pores open when filled with water and close as they lose moisture. Interestingly, some of the pores are still growing, visible in the upper right and lower left corners of the photograph. With a magnification of X440 at 10 centimetres wide, this SEM offers us a glimpse into nature's incredible complexity at such minute scales. It highlights how plants have evolved to adapt to their environment through biological processes like respiration and photosynthesis. The false-coloured depiction adds an artistic touch to this scientific marvel while emphasizing key features such as the epidermis, multiple openings, and green hues associated with plant life. This image serves as a testament to both botanical wonders and cutting-edge imaging technology provided by scanning electron microscopy. Captivatingly detailed yet artistically rendered, this print from Science Photo Library invites viewers into the fascinating world of botany where even seemingly ordinary leaves hold extraordinary secrets within their microscopic structures.
