Nettle leaf, SEM
Nettle leaf. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of tangled string-like structures on the underside of a leaf from a stinging nettle plant (Urtica sp.). Most stinging nettles, as well as the stiff stinging trichomes, have softer non- stinging trichomes that give the leaves a furry feel

False Colour Stinging Nettle Trichome Trichomes False Coloured Urtica
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 nettle leaf, as seen under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals an enchanting world of tangled string-like structures that adorn the underside of this stinging nettle plant's leaf. These delicate formations are known as trichomes, which serve various purposes for the plant. The stinging nettles we often encounter possess not only stiff and painful trichomes but also softer non-stinging ones, giving their leaves a furry texture. This SEM image allows us to appreciate these finer details that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. In this false-colored micrograph, shades of green dominate the scene, emphasizing the botanical essence of this natural wonder. Through advanced biological imaging techniques, scientists have uncovered such hidden marvels within our environment. This stunning visual representation reminds us of nature's complexity and diversity at microscopic levels. It serves as a testament to both the artistry found in science and its ability to reveal extraordinary aspects of our world. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable print for those who seek inspiration from nature's wonders or wish to explore further into botany and biology realms.
