Antique Framed Print : Nettle leaf trichomes, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Nettle leaf trichomes, SEM
Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) leaf trichomes, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Trichomes (hair-like) are seen on the upper leaf surface, while a freeze-fracture has revealed the internal cellular structure (across bottom). Nettles have stinging trichomes (not seen) and non-stinging trichomes (these shorter ones). Magnification: x265 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nettle leaf trichomes, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) leaf is adorned with an array of hair-like structures known as trichomes, which are prominently visible on its upper surface. However, what makes this image truly remarkable is the freeze-fracture technique employed to reveal the internal cellular structure across the bottom. Nettles possess both stinging and non-stinging trichomes, although only the latter can be observed in this particular image. These shorter trichomes add another layer of complexity to the already fascinating composition. When printed at 10 centimeters across, this photograph offers a magnification of x265, allowing us to appreciate even the tiniest details. The vibrant colors used in false coloring further enhance our understanding of this botanical wonder. It serves as a reminder that nature's creations are not just visually stunning but also scientifically significant. This image delves into botany and biology by providing insight into plant anatomy and cellular structures. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an awe-inspiring snapshot from their vast collection. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of nature's intricacy and its ability to captivate us with its hidden wonders.
