EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a hazel nut, as seen under a light microscope. The image reveals the remarkable storage capabilities of this common hazel tree's endosperm tissue, where an abundance of fat is stored (depicted in vibrant red). Magnified at x7 and printed at 10 centimetres wide, this micrograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the botanical world. The stained cells within the sectioned nut highlight its biological complexity and offer valuable insights into plant anatomy. As an angiosperm belonging to the dicotyledon family, Corylus avellana exemplifies the structural diversity found in flowering plants. Its histological composition is beautifully captured through light microscopy, showcasing both scientific precision and artistic allure. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image holds great significance for researchers studying botany and biology. It serves as a visual testament to nature's ingenuity in storing essential nutrients within plant tissues. Moreover, it underscores the vital role that fats play in sustaining plant life. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this print not only celebrates our fascination with natural wonders but also invites us to explore the hidden intricacies present within even seemingly ordinary objects like nuts.
