Castor oil stem, light micrograph
Castor oil stem. Light micrograph of a longitudinal section through the stem of a castor oil (Ricinus communis) plant. At right are large and small parenchyma cells (blue). Immediately to their left are two rows of proto-xylem vessels and one row of spiral meta-xylem (both red), which transport water around the plant. To the left of this is a bundle of phloem fibres (red) sandwiched between two groups of phloem cells (blue). Magnification: x45 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a castor oil stem when viewed under a light microscope. The image reveals a longitudinal section through the stem, providing us with an up-close look at its fascinating internal structure. At the right side of the image, we can observe large and small parenchyma cells in shades of blue. These cells play a crucial role in storing nutrients and supporting plant growth. Moving towards the center, two rows of proto-xylem vessels catch our attention with their vibrant red color. These vessels, along with a single row of spiral meta-xylem, serve as vital conduits for transporting water throughout the plant. To the left of this xylem arrangement lies a bundle of phloem fibers depicted in striking red hues. Sandwiched between these fibers are groups of phloem cells colored in various shades of blue. Together, they form an essential part of the plant's vascular system responsible for distributing sugars produced during photosynthesis to other parts. Printed at 10 centimeters tall and magnified 45 times, this mesmerizing micrograph allows us to appreciate nature's intricate design on a microscopic level. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary plants like castor oil stems lie hidden wonders waiting to be explored by curious minds fascinated by botany and biology alike.
