Glass Place Mat : Reproductive flower parts, SEM
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Reproductive flower parts, SEM
Reproductive parts of flowers. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). These are florets, the true flowers that form the flowering structures of plants in the Compositae family. Leaf-like structures (smooth) are seen. These protected the floret when it was closed (as at top right). Open florets are exposing reproductive parts for pollen distribution and reception. Magnification: x16 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate and beautiful reproductive flower parts of plants in the Compositae family. The image, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals the fascinating structures that make up these florets, which are the true flowers responsible for forming the flowering structures of these plants. In this close-up view, we can observe leaf-like structures that served as protective coverings when the floret was closed. However, open florets expose their reproductive parts to facilitate pollen distribution and reception. The magnification level of x16 at a 6x7cm size allows us to appreciate even the tiniest details of this floral anatomy. The photograph highlights both male and female components essential for reproduction. Filaments and anthers represent male reproductive organs responsible for producing pollen grains, while pistils and carpels symbolize female reproductive organs involved in seed production. This image not only showcases nature's remarkable beauty but also provides valuable insights into plant biology and botany. It serves as a reminder of how diverse and complex life on Earth is, with each species having its unique way of ensuring survival through reproduction.
