Xylem tissue, SEM

Xylem tissue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through xylem tissue from a dicotyledon rootlet. Xylem vessels (purple) transport water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant. Its thick lignin walls also provide structural support. Surrounding the vessels are parenchyma cells. Magnification: x400 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of xylem tissue, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image reveals a cross-section of xylem tissue from a dicotyledon rootlet, providing us with a glimpse into the inner workings of plant biology. The purple-hued xylem vessels take center stage in this image, serving as vital conduits for transporting water and essential mineral nutrients throughout the entire plant. These vessels are not only responsible for maintaining hydration but also play a crucial role in providing structural support to the plant due to their thick lignin walls. Surrounding these vascular channels are parenchyma cells, which further contribute to the overall function and structure of the tissue. This multi-layered arrangement highlights nature's remarkable ability to create complex systems that enable plants to thrive and adapt. With a magnification level of 400 times when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image allows us to appreciate the microscopic details that would otherwise go unnoticed by our naked eyes. It serves as a testament to how advancements in scientific imaging techniques can unveil hidden wonders within botanical specimens. This stunning photograph is brought to you by Science Photo Library, offering an awe-inspiring glimpse into the world of botany and cellular biology.
