Fine Art Print : Yew tree root, light micrograph
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Yew tree root, light micrograph
Yew tree root. Light micrograph of a transverse section through a root of a yew tree, (Taxus baccata). Most of the outer cortex (dark blue) has broken off due to the formation of a phellogen layer (dark blue files of cells), producing outer protective cork. The inner cortex is composed of large parenchyma cells full of large starch grains (multicoloured), and the smaller inner sieve cells of the phloem. Magnification: x103 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a yew tree root, captured under a light microscope. The transverse section reveals a mesmerizing composition of various elements that make up this vital part of the tree's structure. The image displays the outer cortex, which appears as a dark blue hue, although most of it has broken off due to the formation of a phellogen layer. This protective cork layer is represented by dark blue files of cells surrounding the root. Moving inward, we encounter the inner cortex composed of large parenchyma cells filled with multicolored starch grains. The magnification level used for this print allows us to appreciate these details in depth; when printed at 10 centimeters wide, it provides an impressive x103 zoom factor. The presence of smaller inner sieve cells from the phloem can also be observed within this fascinating micrograph. This photograph not only highlights nature's incredible complexity but also serves as an invaluable resource for botany enthusiasts and researchers alike. It offers insights into plant biology and cytology while showcasing the unique characteristics specific to yew trees (Taxus baccata) and gymnosperms in general. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary visual representation that merges artistry and scientific exploration seamlessly.
