Chloroplast, TEM C016 / 6298
Chloroplast. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of chloroplast from the moss Physcomitrella patens. Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis, the process that synthesises carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight. The pigment responsible for photosynthesis, chlorophyll, is found on stacks of parallel thylakoids (membranes, brown lines) called grana. The bright areas within the chloroplast are starch grains. Magnification: x1400 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a chloroplast from the moss Physcomitrella patens. Chloroplasts, known as the powerhouses of photosynthesis, play a vital role in synthesizing carbohydrates using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. The stacks of parallel thylakoids within the chloroplast are visible as brown lines called grana and house the pigment responsible for photosynthesis - chlorophyll. The bright areas scattered throughout the chloroplast represent starch grains, which serve as energy storage units for future use. With a magnification of x1400 when printed at 10 centimeters tall, this image allows us to delve into the intricate world of plant biology on a microscopic level. As we explore this botanical wonderland through our microscope lens, we gain insight into the complex structure and functionality of plants. This particular image highlights not only the beauty but also the scientific significance behind understanding plant structures such as chloroplasts. Photographed by Dr. Jeremy Burgess from Science Photo Library, this visual masterpiece captures nature's ingenuity and reminds us of how remarkable even seemingly small organisms like moss can be. Let this mesmerizing print transport you into an enchanting realm where science meets artistry; where biological wonders unfold before your eyes with every glance at this magnificent photograph.
