Premium Framed Print : Pollen on stink bug, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Pollen on stink bug, SEM
Pollen grains (orange) on the leg of a stink bug (order Hemiptera), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Pollen grains are the male sex cells of a flowering plant. Many insects that feed on plants and plant juices act as pollinators, carrying pollen from one flower to another, which can fertilise the plant. Magnification unknown

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 world of pollination. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness a close-up view of a stink bug's leg adorned with vibrant orange pollen grains. These tiny particles, known as male sex cells in flowering plants, play a crucial role in plant reproduction. The image highlights the fascinating relationship between insects and plants. Many insects, including stink bugs from the Hemiptera order, act as vital pollinators by feeding on plants and their juices. As they move from one flower to another, these diligent creatures inadvertently carry pollen along with them. This process enables fertilization and ultimately contributes to the survival and diversity of plant species. The magnification used for capturing this mesmerizing scene remains unknown but reveals an astonishing level of detail. The hairy surface of the stink bug's leg is covered in numerous pollen grains, emphasizing its effectiveness as a carrier between flowers. Through this remarkable photograph, Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate nature's intricate mechanisms that sustain life on our planet. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant interactions like those between insects and plants can have profound impacts on ecosystems worldwide.
