Spider lily flower anther, SEM

Spider lily flower anther. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of crystals (white) and pollen (yellow) in a spider lily flower (Hymenocallis sp.) anther. Anthers are part of a plants male reproductive system. They produce and release the male gametes (sex cells), pollen grains. The pollen grains fertilise ovaries, the female gametes. It is thought these crystals form at the same time as the pollen and that they play a role in dehiscence, the opening of the anther to release the pollen. Magnification: x4300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a spider lily flower anther. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a mesmerizing display of crystals and pollen within the anther of a spider lily flower (Hymenocallis sp. ). Anthers, being vital components of a plant's male reproductive system, hold immense significance in the process of reproduction. The white crystals seen here are believed to form simultaneously with the pollen grains, playing a crucial role in dehiscence - the opening of the anther to release these precious sex cells. The yellow pollen grains themselves serve as male gametes that fertilize ovaries, which house female gametes. At a magnification level of x4300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this image allows us to delve into the hidden wonders found within nature's most delicate creations. It is through such scientific marvels that we gain deeper insights into botany and biology. This false-coloured SEM photograph captured by Science Photo Library not only celebrates the elegance and complexity present in every petal but also serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature's processes. Let this stunning visual masterpiece inspire awe for both science and art enthusiasts alike.
