Currant pollen. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of pollen grains from the flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum). This is a popular garden plant, and flowers appear in Spring. Pollen is the male part of a flowers reproductive system. It carries the male gametes (sex cells) to the female stigma. Most flowering plants are pollinated by insects moving between flowers.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of pollengrains from the flowering currant, Ribes sanguineum. The vibrant colors and detailed structure of these pollen grains are revealed through a colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM). As a popular garden plant, this species bursts into bloom during the enchanting season of Spring. Pollen plays a crucial role in the reproductive system of flowers, serving as their male component. It carries the essential male gametes or sex cells to fertilize the female stigma. In nature's delicate dance, most flowering plants rely on insects to transfer pollen between flowers for successful pollination. The magnification level used for this stunning image is truly remarkable - x1,300 at 5x7cm size and an astonishing x3,350 at 5x7ins. Such high-resolution imaging allows us to appreciate every minute detail and marvel at the wonders hidden within nature's creations. This photograph not only captures our imagination but also serves as a valuable resource for scientific research and botanical studies. Its depiction of plant reproduction offers insights into how various species propagate and thrive in their environments. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this extraordinary print invites us to explore the fascinating world of botany while reminding us of nature's intricate mechanisms that ensure its perpetual cycle continues unceasingly.
