Strychnine seed tissue, light micrograph
Strychnine seed tissue. Light micrograph of a section through a seed of the strychnine plant (Strychnos nux vomica), showing the cellular bridges (plasmodesma, black lines) linking the cells (yellow). The cell nuclei are black. The plasmodesmata are the black lines traversing the cell walls and forming connections binding the cells together. Each plasmodesmata has a tube (desmotubule) that enables substances to pass from one cell to another. Magnification: x103 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate cellular structure of a Strychnine seed, captured under a light microscope. The image reveals the fascinating network of cellular bridges known as plasmodesmata, represented by bold black lines that traverse the yellow cells. These plasmodesmata play a crucial role in binding and connecting adjacent cells together. The dark cell nuclei stand out against the vibrant background, emphasizing their importance as they orchestrate various biological processes within each cell. Each plasmodesma is accompanied by a slender tube called desmotubule, enabling substances to pass seamlessly from one cell to another. With a magnification of x103 when printed at 10 centimeters across, this photograph offers an extraordinary level of detail. It unveils nature's architectural marvels on a microscopic scale and provides valuable insights into plant biology and botany. Beyond its scientific significance, this image also captivates with its artistic appeal. The stained sections create visually striking patterns and textures reminiscent of an abstract painting or intricate tapestry woven by nature itself. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an awe-inspiring visual masterpiece that combines scientific exploration with aesthetic appreciation. This print serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity found within even the tiniest corners of our natural world.
