EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a rose pistil, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the remarkable details of this vital reproductive organ found within the Rosa sp. flower. Pistils are responsible for holding a plant's female reproductive structures and play a crucial role in the process of reproduction. Composed of one or more carpels, which contain an ovary, style, and stigma, pistils house the essential components necessary for fertilization to occur. Within these ovaries lie the ovules - the female gametes or sex cells that hold immense potential for new life. The black background accentuates every delicate feature present in this mesmerizing photograph. It highlights not only the elegance of nature but also emphasizes its biological significance. Pollen grains, acting as male gametes, have their pivotal role in fertilizing these ovaries. Through SUSUMU NISHINAGA's expert lens and advanced technology, we gain access to an extraordinary world hidden from our naked eyes. This image serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected all living organisms are and how even something as small as a rose pistil holds profound importance within our ecosystem.
