Premium Framed Print : Pelargonium pollen grain, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Pelargonium pollen grain, SEM
Pollen grain. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a grain of pollen from a geranium (Pelargonium sp.). Pollen grains contain the male reproductive cells of a plant. The sculpted outer wall (exine) helps the pollen adhere to the bodies of pollinating insects

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 Pelargonium pollen grain, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The false-colored image reveals the mesmerizing details of this male reproductive cell found in geraniums (Pelargonium sp. ). Pollen grains play a crucial role in plant reproduction, carrying the genetic material necessary for fertilization. In this image, we can observe the sculpted outer wall known as exine, which serves an essential purpose - helping the pollen adhere to pollinating insects' bodies. The vibrant colors and magnified view offer us a glimpse into the microscopic world of botany and biology. It is through these tiny gametes that life continues to flourish in nature. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this single pollen grain with precision and artistry. This photograph not only celebrates the wonders of nature but also highlights how scientific advancements allow us to explore and appreciate its hidden marvels. Whether you are an enthusiast or professional within various fields like botany, biology, or microscopy, this stunning print provides an opportunity to delve into the fascinating realm of plants' reproductive processes. Let your curiosity bloom as you admire this remarkable piece from Science Photo Library's collection!
