Poster Print : Sunflower pollen, SEM
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Sunflower pollen, SEM
Sunflower pollen grains. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of pollen grains from the sunflower (Helianthus annuus). The grains have a spiked outer wall (exine), which may assist in their dispersal by improving their adherence to pollinating insects. The characteristic surface of pollen grains is used by botanists to recognise and classify plants. Each pollen grain contains a male gamete (reproductive cell) that is intended to fertilise an egg or ovule (female gamete), and initiate the formation of a seed for a new plant. Magnification: x2100 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

This particular design features a stunning Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) image of Sunflower Pollen grains by Science Photo Library. Witness the intricate details and vibrant colors of these tiny wonders up close. Each print is printed on premium quality paper for long-lasting durability and vivid color representation. Bring the wonder of the sunflower's reproductive power into your home or office with this unique and thought-provoking piece.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of sunflower pollen grains. Under the scanning electron microscope (SEM), these grains reveal a stunning array of colors and textures. The spiked outer wall, known as exine, serves a crucial purpose in their dispersal by enhancing their adherence to pollinating insects. This unique characteristic also aids botanists in identifying and classifying different plant species. Each pollen grain contains a male gamete, which is responsible for fertilizing an egg or ovule – the female gamete – initiating the formation of new plants through seed production. The magnification level used for this print allows us to appreciate the fine details at x2100 when printed at 10 centimeters tall. The false coloring applied to this SEM image adds an artistic touch while highlighting the sculpted and spiky nature of these reproductive structures. Sunflowers belong to the Asteraceae family, commonly known as compositae, making them one of nature's most recognizable symbols. This mesmerizing photograph from Science Photo Library invites us into the fascinating world of botanical biology and reminds us of the incredible complexity hidden within even seemingly simple natural elements like pollen grains.
