EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of a daisy bud in remarkable detail. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the image showcases the delicate nature and protective features of this common flower. The vibrant false colors highlight different structures, making it an eye-catching piece of botanical art. The daisy bud belongs to the Asteraceae family, formerly known as Compositae. Its closed petals are covered by green bracts that shield clusters of tiny flowers, called florets. These protective bracts not only guard against external threats but also contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of the flower. With a magnification level of x10 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate every minute detail that would otherwise go unnoticed by our naked eyes. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed and diverse our natural world is. This image combines elements from both biology and botany, showcasing the wonders hidden within even seemingly ordinary plants like daisies. Whether you are an avid nature enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art, this print will undoubtedly add a touch of elegance and fascination to any space it graces.
