Coloured SEM of trichomes in lemon peel
Lemon peel. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of zest" cells in the peel of a lemon, Citrus limoni. In this section the zest cells have been cut across and appear as the round, concave orange structures. These structures are specialised epidermal cells known as trichomes. They are glandular, secreting the oil which gives lemon peel its tangy flavour. The essence obtained from the peel is used extensively in the perfume industry.

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 lemon peel at a microscopic level. The image, captured using a Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM), reveals the fascinating structure of trichomes in the peel of a lemon. These trichomes are specialized epidermal cells that play a crucial role in giving lemon peel its distinctive tangy flavor. In this particular section, the zest cells have been cut across, resulting in round and concave orange structures. These structures are responsible for secreting the oil that gives lemon peel its aromatic essence. It is this essence that finds extensive use in the perfume industry due to its refreshing fragrance. The magnification used to capture this image allows us to appreciate the minute details present within these trichomes. At x30 magnification on a 6x7cm size, we can observe their unique shape and arrangement more closely. Zooming further at x74 on an 8x6" scale or x40 on a 10x7cm master size provides even greater clarity and insight into their cellular composition. Beyond their significance in perfumery, these trichomes also serve as vital components involved in reproduction and protection for plants like citrus limoni - commonly known as lemons. This photograph not only highlights nature's intricate design but also offers us an opportunity to marvel at the wonders hidden within everyday objects such as fruit peels.
