Sage leaf oil glands
Sage leaf oil glands. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of hairs and glands on a leaf of the herb sage, Salvia officinalis. On the leaf surface are two types of hairs, called trichomes. Many thin multicellular hairs which serve a protective function for the plant, or reduce surface evaporation. Spherical structures are modified glandular hairs which secrete oils associated with the odour and essence of sage. The leaves of sage are used for cooking. They also have medicinal properties which reduce fever, cleanse the blood, relieve pain, and are antiseptic. Magnification: x241 at 5x7cm size

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.

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 details of sage leaf oil glands, providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of botany. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a leaf from the herb sage, Salvia officinalis, adorned with an array of hairs and glands. The leaf surface exhibits two distinct types of hairs known as trichomes. The first type consists of numerous thin multicellular hairs that serve to protect the plant or minimize surface evaporation. These delicate structures play a vital role in maintaining the health and vitality of sage plants. However, it is the spherical structures that truly captivate our attention - modified glandular hairs responsible for secreting oils associated with the distinctive aroma and essence of sage. Beyond its culinary applications as a popular cooking ingredient, sage possesses remarkable medicinal properties. Its leaves have been utilized for centuries to reduce fever, cleanse blood, alleviate pain, and act as an antiseptic agent. This image allows us to appreciate how nature's design intricately weaves together beauty and functionality. With a magnification level of x241 at 5x7cm size, this photograph transports us into an enchanting microscopic realm where every detail becomes visible. Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's wonders in stunning clarity through their expertise in scientific photography.
