Leaf stomata, light micrograph
Leaf stomata. Light micrograph of a vertical section down through the surface of a leaf from a Scots pine tree (Pinus sylvestris)

Marigold flower parts, light micrograph
Marigold flower parts. Light micrograph of a vertical section through a carpel or pistil (the female part) of a marsh marigold (Caltha palustris)

Pollen tube, light micrograph
Pollen tube. Light micrograph of a section through an evening primrose (Oenthera biennis) stigma. A pollen grain (circular)

Longitudinal wave in a spring. The wave motion is parallel to the direction of travel, with regions alternating between compression (lower centre) and expansion (upper centre) as the wave passes

Frog tadpole, light micrograph
Frog tadpole. Light micrograph of a longitudinal section parallel to the body of the tadpole of a frog (Rana temporaria). The tail is at left and the head and body are at right

Tooth enamel formation, SEM

"Exploring the Intricacies of Longitudinal Structures: From Dicotyledon Plant Stems to Jellyfish Artwork" This captivating light micrograph showcases the intricate longitudinal structure of a dicotyledon plant stem, revealing its inner beauty and complexity. Intriguingly artistic, this jellyfish artwork captures the ethereal nature of these creatures with their long tentacles gracefully extending in a longitudinal fashion. A closer look at tendons through SEM reveals their remarkable longitudinal arrangement, highlighting their strength and flexibility in supporting our movements. Delving into the depths of neuroscience, an MRI scan unveils the fascinating longitudinal pathways within a child's brain, offering insights into cognitive development and neural connections. Transporting us back in time, we encounter historical marvels like the Great Eastern steamship. A section view provides a glimpse into its impressive size and design with a prominent longitudinal perspective. The majestic Parthenon of Athens stands as an enduring symbol of ancient Greece's grandeur. Its exquisite columns stretch longitudinally across its magnificent facade, leaving spectators awestruck by its timeless beauty. Across continents to New York City, we find another architectural gem - the Custom House. With its classical design featuring elegant columns arranged longitudinally along its exterior, it exudes both power and grace. Returning to childhood wonderment once more, an MRI scan unravels further mysteries within a child's brain. This mesmerizing image sheds light on how neurological processes unfold longitudinally during crucial developmental stages. Venturing into innovative transportation methods from yesteryears brings us to an atmospheric railway. An elevation view coupled with a detailed longitudinal section illustrates how this ambitious concept aimed to revolutionize travel using air pressure propulsion systems. Unveiling engineering triumphs from history takes us aboard Isambard Kingdom Brunel's visionary creation - The Great Eastern Steam Ship. Despite logistical challenges delaying her launch in 1857, her groundbreaking design showcased through this striking longitudinal section remains a testament to human ingenuity.
