EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a willow stem, captured through a light micrograph. The circular cross-section reveals the inner structure of this botanical wonder, with its various layers and tissues coming to life against a pristine white background. At the heart of this image lies the pith, depicted in pure white. Surrounding it is the woody xylem tissue, delicately tinted in pink hues. Moving outward, we encounter the cortex and outer cork layers, which add depth and texture with their rich brown tones. With a magnification of x14 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, every detail is meticulously preserved for our admiration. This photograph offers us an intimate glimpse into the internal anatomy of a willow stem – an anatomical slice that unravels its secrets. From a biological perspective, this image highlights key features such as vessels and cells within different plant tissues. It serves as a reminder of nature's complexity and diversity while celebrating botany's contribution to our understanding of flora. Through this mesmerizing visual exploration captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded once again that even within seemingly ordinary objects like tree stems lie extraordinary wonders waiting to be discovered.
