Xylem and phloem plant tissue, SEM
Xylem and phloem plant tissue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a transverse section through the stem of a woody plant. The vascular tissue seen here includes xylem (orange, centre), which transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant. Surrounding the xylem is the phloem (green), which transports carbohydrates and plant hormones around the plant. The phloem includes sieve plates. Magnification: x600 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of xylem and phloem plant tissue. Taken using a scanning electron microscope, this coloured SEM image reveals a transverse section through the stem of a woody plant. The vibrant orange colour represents the xylem, which acts as nature's transportation system by carrying water and essential minerals from the roots to every part of the plant. Surrounding the xylem is the green-hued phloem, responsible for distributing carbohydrates and vital plant hormones throughout its structure. The mesmerizing details captured in this image highlight the complexity and interconnectedness within plants' vascular systems. The presence of sieve plates within the phloem further emphasizes its crucial role in facilitating nutrient transport. With a magnification level of 600 times when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this photograph offers viewers an up-close look into botany's cellular wonders. It serves as a reminder of how plants possess their own intricate biology that enables them to thrive in various environments. Whether you are fascinated by structures or interested in exploring nature's support systems, this print provides an awe-inspiring glimpse into one aspect of botanical science.
