Chickweed flower pistil, SEM

Chickweed flower pistil. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a chickweed flower (Stellaria media) pistil. Pistils hold a plants female reproductive structures. They contain one or more carpels, which, in turn, contain a stigma, style and an ovary. Within the ovaries are the ovules, the female gametes (sex cells). The ovaries are fertilised by pollen grains, the male gametes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a chickweed flower pistil, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The false-colored image reveals the vibrant details of this botanical wonder. Pistils are essential reproductive organs in plants, specifically housing their female reproductive structures. Within each pistil lies one or more carpels, which consist of three main parts: stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma acts as the landing pad for pollen grains while the style serves as a conduit for their journey towards the ovary. Delving deeper into the ovaries unveils another layer of complexity - tiny ovules that house the female gametes or sex cells. These ovules hold immense potential for fertilization by pollen grains carrying male gametes. The mesmerizing interplay between these various components is beautifully captured in this photograph. It not only highlights nature's incredible design but also provides valuable insights into plant reproduction and biology. Science Photo Library brings us yet another stunning visual representation from the realm of science and nature. This image serves as a testament to their commitment to capturing scientific wonders with precision and artistry.
