Glass Coaster : Conifer needle, SEM
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Conifer needle, SEM
Conifer needle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a needle (leaf) from a conifer tree, showing the vascular bundle (large round cluster). The vascular bundle consists of xylem (small orange openings, centre) and phloem (pale yellow, surrounding the xylem) tissues. Xylem transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant and phloem transports carbohydrates and hormones around the plant. Magnification: x400 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a conifer needle at an astonishing level of detail. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this coloured micrograph reveals the inner structure of the leaf, specifically focusing on the vascular bundle. The vascular bundle, depicted as a large round cluster in this image, plays a crucial role in the conifer's survival. It consists of two types of tissues: xylem and phloem. The xylem tissue is represented by small orange openings at the center, while pale yellow surrounds it to signify the phloem tissue. Xylem serves as nature's waterway system within plants, transporting essential water and mineral nutrients from their roots throughout every part of their being. On the other hand, phloem acts as nature's highway for carbohydrates and hormones that are vital for growth and development. With a magnification factor of 400 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate just how complex and interconnected plant biology truly is. From its false-colored representation to its cross-sectional view, this image not only highlights botanical wonders but also offers insights into histology and biological research. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this stunning print invites us into the fascinating world where science meets artistry – capturing both our imagination and appreciation for Earth's evergreen marvels.
