Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Section through leaf of Zinnia
False-colour scanning electron micrograph of the under surface of a leaf, Zinnia elegans, showing a part of the epidermis removed to reveal the spongy mesophyll layer (left) under the surface. The epidermis (right) consistis of large, irregular cells with waterproofing constituents in the wall. The jigsaw effect corresponds to the epidermal cells. The epidermis shows stomatal pores, which regulate the exchange of air between the atmosphere and the leafs interior. Mesophyll cells are large and attached at limited points only, creating airspaces through which the air entering via the pores circulates freely through the leaf. Magnification: x150 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of plant anatomy. A section through the leaf of Zinnia elegans is beautifully captured in this false-colour scanning electron micrograph, revealing its hidden secrets. The under surface of the leaf showcases the spongy mesophyll layer, which appears like a delicate web of interconnected cells. On the right side, we observe the epidermis consisting of large irregular cells with waterproofing constituents in their walls. These unique structures create a jigsaw effect that adds to the visual allure. Notably, within this epidermal layer, stomatal pores are visible - tiny openings that play a crucial role in regulating air exchange between the atmosphere and the interior of leaves. The mesophyll cells on display are noticeably larger and only attached at limited points, resulting in airspaces throughout the leaf. This ingenious design allows for free circulation of air entering via these stomatal pores. It's fascinating to witness nature's ingenuity at work as it ensures efficient gas exchange within plants. With a magnification level set at x150 and presented in a 6x4.5cm size format, this photograph truly captures both scientific precision and artistic beauty simultaneously. Whether you're an avid botany enthusiast or simply appreciate nature's wonders, this image is sure to captivate your imagination and deepen your appreciation for Earth's incredible biodiversity.
