Dicotyledon vascular bundle, SEM C016 / 9602

Dicotyledon vascular bundle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a vascular bundle from a dicotyledonous plant. A vascular bundle is a part of the transport system in vascular plants. The transport itself happens in vascular tissue, which exists in two forms: xylem (containing tracheids, larger vessels) and phloem (containing sieve tubes, smaller vessels). Magnification: x800, when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant and intricate view of a dicotyledon vascular bundle, captured through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the fascinating inner workings of a vascular bundle, which serves as an essential part of the transport system in vascular plants. The colored SEM highlights two distinct types of vascular tissue: xylem and phloem. Xylem consists of tracheids and larger vessels responsible for transporting water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plant. On the other hand, phloem contains sieve tubes and smaller vessels that facilitate the movement of sugars, hormones, and other organic compounds throughout the plant. At 800 times magnification, this visually stunning photograph allows us to appreciate the beauty hidden within nature's cellular structures. It offers valuable insights into plant biology by showcasing anatomical details such as cells, vessels, and sections. Steve Gschmeissner skillfully captures this botanical marvel with his expertise in scientific photography. This print is not only an exquisite piece for botany enthusiasts but also serves as a testament to our awe-inspiring natural world. Whether displayed in educational settings or personal spaces dedicated to appreciating flora's wonders, this print is sure to captivate viewers with its mesmerizing colors and intricate details.
