Borage seed, SEM
Borage seed. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a seed from a borage flower (Borago officinalis). A seed contains an embryo (a fertilised ovule from which a new plant can grow), and a supply of food. The food is used either while the embryo grows within the developing seed, or during germination. Seed shapes and surface textures vary widely, affecting how they are dispersed from their parent plant. Seed dispersal methods include being carried by the wind, or water or on animal coats, or being eaten and deposited in animal droppings. Borage is an edible herb that is also used for its medicinal properties. Magnification: x580 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a borage seed, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the remarkable structure and nature of this tiny seed, belonging to the borage flower (Borago officinalis). Within its delicate shell lies an embryo, representing the potential for new life and growth. The seed also contains a vital supply of food that sustains either the developing embryo or aids in germination. As seen in this SEM image, seeds exhibit diverse shapes and surface textures which greatly influence their dispersal from parent plants. Some seeds rely on wind or water to carry them away, while others hitchhike on animal coats or are dispersed through consumption and subsequent deposition in animal droppings. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, borage is not only an edible herb but also possesses medicinal properties. This versatile plant has been utilized for centuries in herbal medicine due to its numerous health benefits. With a magnification of x580 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this false-colored SEM image provides valuable insights into the reproductive part of Borago officinalis. Science Photo Library presents this stunning print as part of their extensive collection encompassing various scientific disciplines such as botany, horticulture, biology, and more.
