Anther gland cell, SEM
Anther gland cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a gland cell on the surface of an anther. Gland cells secrete oils and other substances to keep a plant healthy and protect it from the weather and predators. An anther is the male reproductive part of a plant that produces pollen. This gland cell is on an anther from a mallow plant (Malva sp.)

Anther False Colour Glandular Mallow False Coloured Malva
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an anther gland cell, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a mesmerizing glimpse into the world of botany and plant biology. The featured gland cell, found on the surface of an anther from a mallow plant (Malva sp. ), plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and protection of the plant. Gland cells are responsible for secreting oils and other substances that shield plants from harsh weather conditions and potential predators. Anthers serve as vital male reproductive organs in plants, producing pollen necessary for fertilization. This particular specimen offers us a closer look at one such gland cell residing on this essential structure. With its false-coloured appearance, this SEM micrograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this biological marvel. The scanning electron microscope has magnified every minute feature, unveiling textures and patterns that would otherwise remain hidden to our naked eyes. As we delve into nature's wonders with this photograph, we gain insight into how plants have evolved fascinating mechanisms to ensure their survival amidst various challenges. Science Photo Library continues to provide awe-inspiring visuals like these that bridge artistry with scientific exploration.
