Fine Art Print : SEM of pansy petal
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
SEM of pansy petal
Pansy petal. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showing papillae on the petal of a pansy flower, Viola cornuta. Papillae are projections from epidermal cells. They are often swollen and covered in wax to help reduce water loss by the flower. Brightly coloured petals in a flower serve as visual attractants to pollinators. Pansies rely on insect pollinators to spread the male pollen to the female stigmas of the flower. They have been cultivated for so long that their origin is uncertain. Their striking colours are an artifical production of gardeners and differ greatly from related wild plants. Magnification: x122 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a pansy petal at an astonishing level of detail. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the delicate papillae that adorn the surface of this flower's petal. These papillae are projections from epidermal cells, often swollen and coated in wax to minimize water loss by the flower. The vibrant hues exhibited by these petals serve as visual attractants to pollinators, enticing them towards the pansy for reproduction purposes. Insects play a crucial role in spreading male pollen to the female stigmas of these flowers, ensuring their continued propagation. Pansies have been cultivated for centuries, making it difficult to determine their exact origin. However, what sets them apart from their wild counterparts is their striking and diverse colors - a result of human intervention and selective breeding by skilled gardeners. At a magnification of x122 on a 6x7cm size print, this image allows us to appreciate nature's intricate design up close. It serves as a reminder of both the scientific wonders found within our natural world and humanity's ability to enhance its beauty through careful cultivation.
