EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a hulled sesame seed, captured through a scanning electron microscope. The image reveals the inner structure of this versatile seed after its hull has been removed. Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is primarily cultivated for its seeds, which find wide application in both culinary and botanical realms. With a magnification of x35 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM photograph allows us to appreciate the beauty hidden within these tiny seeds. Used whole in cooking or pressed to extract their precious oil, sesame seeds have become an essential ingredient in various cuisines around the world. The vibrant colors and distinct textures visible in this image emphasize the biological significance of sesame as a foodstuff. Dried and processed, these edible seeds not only add flavor but also contribute to our understanding of plant biology. As we delve into the realm of botany and explore nature's bounty, let us marvel at how something as small as a sesame seed can hold such immense value. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary ingredients possess extraordinary qualities worth exploring.
