EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of leaf oil glands in a thyme plant. The colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the fascinating details of Thymus vulgaris' leaf surface. Two distinct types of leaf trichomes, or hairs, are visible in this image. The small spiky hairs serve a protective function, shielding the leaf and potentially reducing evaporation. However, it is the flattened structures that steal the spotlight with their vibrant pink coloration. These modified glandular hairs are responsible for producing the aromatic oil that gives thyme its distinctive scent. Thyme is not only valued as an herb in cooking but also possesses medicinal properties. This botanical wonder has been used for centuries due to its therapeutic benefits. With a magnification of x320 when printed at 10cm high, this SEM image allows us to appreciate nature's microscopic marvels up close. Through this photograph from Science Photo Library, we delve into the realm of botany and explore the anatomy of plants on a cellular level. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly simple leaves lie complex biological structures waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
