Bread mould, SEM C016 / 9052
Bread mould. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a black bread mould (Rhizopus stolonifer) sporangium (blue, spherical). Sporangia are asexual reproductive structures where the moulds spores (red, 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 (Rhizopus stolonifer) under a scanning electron microscope. Against a striking black background, the image reveals a close-up view of the mould's sporangium, colored in mesmerizing shades of blue. The spherical structure stands out prominently, while its purpose as an asexual reproductive organ becomes apparent. Within the sporangium, vibrant red spores can be observed at the top, delicately developing before their eventual release into the air. This process is crucial for the spread and propagation of this fungal species. With a magnification level of x1300 when printed 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail is brought to life with astonishing clarity. The photograph not only captures nature's remarkable intricacies but also provides valuable insights into botany and biology. It serves as a testament to the wonders that lie hidden within our natural world – even in seemingly ordinary substances like bread moulds. Taken by renowned photographer Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library, this stunning image exemplifies his expertise in capturing biological subjects through scanning electron microscopy. Its vivid colors and precise details make it an exceptional addition to any collection focused on nature, fungi or mycology enthusiasts alike will find themselves captivated by this extraordinary glimpse into microscopic life forms.
