Wild strawberry pistils, SEM
Wild strawberry flower pistils. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Asian wild strawberry (Potentilla sp.) flower pistils. A pistil is the female reproductive structure, composed of one or more carpels. Each carpel possesses a stigma, style and an ovary. The ovules in the ovary are fertilised by the male sex cells. In the wild strawberry, each fertilised pistil will develop into a seed (achene) embedded in the surface of the berry. 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 beauty of wild strawberry pistils. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the Asian wild strawberry flower pistils, revealing their mesmerizing details. Pistils, as the female reproductive structures of plants, play a crucial role in the process of reproduction. Composed of one or more carpels, each pistil consists of three main parts: stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is responsible for capturing pollen grains while the style acts as a bridge connecting it to the ovary. Within the ovary lie tiny ovules that await fertilization by male sex cells. Once fertilized, these pistils develop into seeds known as achenes which become embedded in the surface of the berry itself. The magnification used to capture this image remains unknown but its impact is undeniable. It allows us to appreciate nature's meticulous craftsmanship on an entirely new level – from delicate textures and patterns to vibrant colors that adorn these miniature wonders. This print serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary objects like flowers lie extraordinary complexities waiting to be explored and admired. Through scientific exploration and visual artistry combined in this SEM image, Science Photo Library continues to bring forth stunning glimpses into our natural world for all to appreciate and learn from.
