Forget-me-not pollen, SEM
Pollen grain. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a pollen grain from a forget- me-not plant (Myosotis sp.). This is among the smallest of any plant pollen. There is great variation in the size, shape and surface texture of pollen. The outer wall (exine) is highly sculpted in many plants, which may assist in dispersal. Each pollen grain contains a male gamete, which fertilises the eggs or ovules, initiating the formation of plant seeds. Magnification: x12, 300 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of forget-me-not pollen, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a single pollen grain from a Myosotis sp. plant, known for producing some of the smallest pollen grains in the plant kingdom. Pollen grains exhibit remarkable diversity in size, shape, and surface texture, as depicted by this SEM image. The outer wall of the grain, called exine, is particularly striking with its highly sculpted features. This unique sculpting pattern serves an important purpose in aiding dispersal. Within each tiny pollen grain lies a male gamete—a reproductive cell that plays a crucial role in fertilizing eggs or ovules to initiate seed formation in plants. It's fascinating to consider how such minuscule structures hold immense significance for plant reproduction. The magnification level of x12,300 at 6x7cm size allows us to appreciate the extraordinary details present within this small-scale world of nature's design. This colored micrograph not only highlights the structural intricacies but also adds an artistic touch to our understanding of these vital cellular processes. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the wonders of botany and cellular biology through this stunning photograph print capturing forget-me-not pollen at its finest.
