Clubmoss stem, light micrograph

Clubmoss stem, polarised light micrograph. Transverse section through the stem of the clubmoss Lycopodium clavatum. This is the central portion of the stem consisting of the inner cortex (red, right) and the central vascular cylinder (stele, round, centre left). The inner cortex consists of thick-walled sclerenchyma cells. The stele consists of thick-walled wood (xylem) cells and thin-walled parenchyma cells interspersed with phloem (both blue). The rim of the stele has two layers: the pericycle (blue) and the endodermis (green). Magnification: x100 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Clubmoss stem, captured under polarised light micrograph. The transverse section of the stem belonging to the Lycopodium clavatum species reveals its internal structure in stunning detail. At the center lies the central vascular cylinder or stele, characterized by round shapes and composed of thick-walled wood cells (xylem) and thin-walled parenchyma cells interspersed with phloem. The inner cortex, depicted in vibrant red on the right side, consists of robust sclerenchyma cells that provide structural support to the plant. Surrounding the stele are two distinct layers: the pericycle portrayed in blue and the endodermis shown in green. Nature's artistry is further highlighted through this image's play with colors - blues representing both phloem and polarisation effects. With a magnification level of x100 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate every minute detail within this botanical wonder. More than just an aesthetically pleasing image, it serves as a valuable resource for botany enthusiasts and researchers alike. It offers insights into plant anatomy, specifically focusing on club mosses' unique characteristics such as their internal structure and cellular composition. This remarkable piece from Science Photo Library captures not only scientific curiosity but also celebrates nature's hidden marvels waiting to be explored.
