Poster Print : Tiger lily pollen
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Tiger lily pollen
Pollen grains. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of pollen grains from a tiger lily plant (Lilium tigrium). Pollen grain size, shape and surface texture differ from one plant species to another. The outer wall (exine) of the pollen in many plant species is highly sculpted which may assist in wind, water or insect dispersal. This pollen sculpting is also used by botanists to recognise plant species. Pores in the pollen wall help in water regulation and germination. Pollen contains the plants male gametes. These fertilise the eggs or ovules, initiating formation of plant seeds. Magnification: x638 at 6x7cm size

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).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of tiger lily pollen grains. Under the lens of a scanning electron microscope, we are able to observe their distinct size, shape, and surface texture. It is fascinating to note that these characteristics vary among different plant species, making them crucial for identification by botanists. The highly sculpted outer wall of the pollen grains serves multiple purposes in nature. Not only does it aid in dispersal through wind, water, or insects but also acts as a unique fingerprint for each plant species. The presence of pores within this wall plays an essential role in regulating water levels and facilitating germination. Pollen itself carries the male gametes of plants and holds immense significance in reproduction. When fertilized with eggs or ovules, it initiates the formation of seeds – a vital step towards ensuring future generations. At a magnification level of x638 on a 6x7cm scale, this image allows us to appreciate the intricate details that often go unnoticed by our naked eyes. It reminds us of nature's complexity and diversity while highlighting the remarkable adaptations that enable plants to thrive and reproduce successfully. This stunning photograph from Science Photo Library invites us into the mesmerizing world where science meets artistry – capturing both our imagination and admiration for life's smallest wonders found within every petal and stamen.
