Acrylic Blox : Oleander flower stamen, SEM
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Oleander flower stamen, SEM
Oleander flower stamen. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the base of a oleander flower (Nerium oleander) stamen. Stamen are a plants male reproductive structures. They consist of a filament (seen here), which ends in a globular anther. The hairs are thought to be sensory hairs. The stamen produces and releases the male gametes (sex cells), pollen grains. The pollen grains fertilise ovaries, the female gametes. Magnification: x215 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an Oleander flower stamen, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The base of the stamen belonging to Nerium oleander, commonly known as Oleander, is depicted in stunning detail. Stamen are vital male reproductive structures found in plants and play a crucial role in their life cycle. In this image, we can observe the filament - a slender structure that supports the globular anther at its tip. Delicate hairs adorn the surface of the stamen, believed to serve as sensory receptors for the plant. These sensory hairs contribute to its ability to interact with its environment. The primary function of this remarkable organ is highlighted by its production and release of male gametes or sex cells called pollen grains. These tiny particles carry genetic material that fertilize ovaries – female gametes – leading to reproduction and seed formation. Printed at 10 centimeters tall with a magnification level of x215, this photograph allows us to appreciate nature's intricacy on a microscopic scale. It serves as a testament to both the wonders of botany and biology while showcasing how advanced imaging techniques like SEM can reveal hidden details within our natural world.
