Chickweed flower pistil, SEM
Chickweed flower pistil. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a chickweed flower (Stellaria media) pistil. Pistils hold a plants female reproductive structures. They contain one or more carpels, which, in turn, contain a stigma, style and an ovary. Within the ovaries are the ovules, the female gametes (sex cells). The ovaries are fertilised by pollen grains, the male gametes

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 a chickweed flower pistil, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The false-colored image reveals the vibrant details of this botanical wonder. Pistils are essential reproductive organs in plants, specifically housing their female reproductive structures. Within each pistil lies one or more carpels, which consist of three main parts: stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma acts as the landing pad for pollen grains while the style serves as a conduit for their journey towards the ovary. Delving deeper into the ovaries unveils another layer of complexity - tiny ovules that house the female gametes or sex cells. These ovules hold immense potential for fertilization by pollen grains carrying male gametes. The mesmerizing interplay between these various components is beautifully captured in this photograph. It not only highlights nature's incredible design but also provides valuable insights into plant reproduction and biology. Science Photo Library brings us yet another stunning visual representation from the realm of science and nature. This image serves as a testament to their commitment to capturing scientific wonders with precision and artistry.
