Jigsaw Puzzle : Pollen on a bee leg, SEM
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Pollen on a bee leg, SEM
Pollen on a bee leg. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of pollen grains (pale purple) on the leg of a bee (superfamily Apoidea). Pollen grains are the male sex cells of a flowering plant. They are usually carried to another flower by pollinating insects, such as bees. The pollen is trapped by the dense coating of hairs on the leg. When the pollen rubs off on a flowers female structure (pistil), fertilisation can occur

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate relationship between bees and flowering plants. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph, we get a close-up view of pollen grains (pale purple) clinging to the leg of a bee from the superfamily Apoidea. These tiny grains are the male sex cells of flowering plants, responsible for fertilization. The bee's leg is covered in a dense coating of hairs that act as traps for pollen. As bees move from one flower to another in search of nectar, they inadvertently collect and transfer these vital particles. When the pollen rubs off onto a flower's female structure known as the pistil, fertilization can occur. This image beautifully captures nature's delicate dance of reproduction and pollination. It highlights both the incredible adaptability and importance of bees as pollinating insects in our ecosystem. Through this photograph, we gain insight into the fascinating anatomy and biology behind pollination processes. The false-coloured SEM image allows us to appreciate every detail – from multiple pollen grains on hairy legs to their role as gametes or sex cells. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into our natural world through this stunning visual representation captured by scanning electron microscopy.
