EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the delicate beauty of a young brackenfern leaf in exquisite detail. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the intricate structure of this unfurling leaf, showcasing its unique features and functions. The surface of the leaf is adorned with numerous tiny hairs, known as trichomes, which serve multiple purposes. These trichomes act as a protective barrier against pests, shielding the plant from potential harm. Additionally, they play a crucial role in reducing water loss by evaporation, ensuring that the fern retains moisture even in challenging environments. At a magnification of x16 and printed at 6x7cm size, this image allows us to appreciate every minute aspect of this natural wonder. From the curled leaflet to the developing veins and furled edges, it offers an intimate glimpse into the early stages of growth for these remarkable plants. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print serves as a testament to nature's ingenuity and resilience. It invites viewers to marvel at the wonders found within our own backyard while reminding us of how intricately interconnected all living organisms are on our planet. Captured by Science Photo Library's talented photographers, this image showcases their dedication to capturing scientific phenomena with artistic flair.
