Bread mould, SEM C016 / 9051
Bread mould. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a black bread mould (Rhizopus stolonifer) sporangium (orange, spherical). Sporangia are asexual reproductive structures where the moulds spores (green, top) develop before being released into the air. Magnification: x1300 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a black bread mould, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image features a close-up view of a sporangium, the reproductive structure of the mould, colored in vibrant orange against a striking black background. With a magnification level of x1300 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every detail is brought to life. The green spores on top of the sporangium are clearly visible and add an element of contrast to the composition. These spores represent the next generation of this fungal organism before they are released into the air for dispersal. It's fascinating to observe how nature has designed these structures for efficient reproduction. This photograph not only highlights the aesthetic appeal but also serves as an educational tool for botany enthusiasts and biologists alike. It provides valuable insights into fungal anatomy and offers an opportunity to study mycology up close. The presence of hyphae, or filamentous structures that make up fungi, can be observed within this moldy landscape. Overall, this image captures both scientific precision and artistic elegance simultaneously. Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library has masterfully depicted one small aspect of our natural world that often goes unnoticed by human eyes alone.
