Pear fruit tissue, light micrograph
Pear fruit tissue. Light micrograph of a longitudinal section through tissue from the fruit of a pear tree (Pyrus sp.). The section shows stone clusters or sclerieds (red), among parenchyma cells (blue). The thick cellulose walls of the sclerieds are impregnated with lignin, the main component of wood, and this provides support for the tissue of the pear fruit. Magnification: x14 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate internal structure of a pear fruit tissue. Taken under a light microscope, this longitudinal section reveals the fascinating composition of cells that make up the fruit. The blue parenchyma cells form the bulk of the tissue, while scattered among them are clusters of stone-like sclerieds depicted in red. What makes these sclerieds particularly interesting is their thick cellulose walls impregnated with lignin, which is typically found in wood. This lignin infusion provides crucial support to maintain the structural integrity of the pear fruit's tissue. With a magnification level of x14 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image allows us to appreciate nature's intricate details on a microscopic scale. Against a clean white background, it highlights both the beauty and complexity present within plant anatomy. This photograph not only appeals to botany enthusiasts but also serves as an educational resource for those interested in understanding cellular biology and plant physiology. By exploring this visual representation, we gain insight into how different cell types work together harmoniously to create one cohesive structure – in this case, forming part of a delicious and nutritious pear fruit.
