Morning glory pollen
Morning glory pollen grains. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of pollen grains (orange balls) on the pistil (female reproductive parts) of a morning glory flower (Ipomoea sp.). Pollen grains contain the male sex cells (gametes) of a flowering plant. Once the pollen has landed on the pistil, the male gametes travel to the ovaries where they fertilise the female gametes (ovules). Magnification: x480 at 6x7cm size

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 morning glory pollen grains. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph, we are granted a close-up view of orange spherical pollen grains delicately scattered on the pistil of a morning glory flower. These tiny particles hold within them the male sex cells, known as gametes, which play a crucial role in the reproductive process of flowering plants. As we observe this mesmerizing image, we witness nature's remarkable mechanism at work. Once these pollen grains have landed on the pistil, they embark on an incredible journey towards fertilization. The male gametes travel through the stigma and make their way to the ovaries where they unite with female gametes or ovules. At a magnification level of x480 and printed at 6x7cm size, every detail is brought to life in this photograph. It serves as a testament to both the complexity and elegance found within botanical structures. This image not only highlights pollination but also emphasizes how vital it is for plant reproduction. Nature enthusiasts and botany lovers will undoubtedly appreciate this stunning visual representation captured by Science Photo Library. Through its vibrant colors and microscopic perspective, it invites us to marvel at the wonders hidden within even the tiniest components of our natural world - reminding us once again that beauty truly lies in every corner of creation.
