Oleander flower stamen, SEM
Oleander flower stamen. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the base of a oleander flower (Nerium oleander) stamen. Stamen are a plants male reproductive structures. They consist of a filament (seen here), which ends in a globular anther. The hairs are thought to be sensory hairs. The stamen produces and releases the male gametes (sex cells), pollen grains. The pollen grains fertilise ovaries, the female gametes. Magnification: x215 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

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 Oleander flower stamen, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The base of the stamen belonging to Nerium oleander, commonly known as Oleander, is depicted in stunning detail. Stamen are vital male reproductive structures found in plants and play a crucial role in their life cycle. In this image, we can observe the filament - a slender structure that supports the globular anther at its tip. Delicate hairs adorn the surface of the stamen, believed to serve as sensory receptors for the plant. These sensory hairs contribute to its ability to interact with its environment. The primary function of this remarkable organ is highlighted by its production and release of male gametes or sex cells called pollen grains. These tiny particles carry genetic material that fertilize ovaries – female gametes – leading to reproduction and seed formation. Printed at 10 centimeters tall with a magnification level of x215, this photograph allows us to appreciate nature's intricacy on a microscopic scale. It serves as a testament to both the wonders of botany and biology while showcasing how advanced imaging techniques like SEM can reveal hidden details within our natural world.
