Leaf section, SEM
Leaf section. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a fractured leaf. At top is a single layer of cells that forms the epidermis of the leaf. The top layer (seen here across centre) of the leaf interior is made up of palisade mesophyll tissue. The tightly packed palisade cells contain chloroplasts (ovals), the sites of photosynthesis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a leaf section, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a cross-section of a fractured leaf, providing us with an up-close look at its fascinating structure and nature. At the top of the image, we can observe a single layer of cells forming the epidermis of the leaf. This protective outer layer shields the delicate inner workings of this botanical wonder. Moving further into the leaf's interior, we encounter another layer composed of palisade mesophyll tissue. These tightly packed cells are responsible for conducting photosynthesis – the process that converts sunlight into energy for plants. The vibrant green coloration throughout this micrograph is due to chloroplasts present within these palisade cells. These oval-shaped organelles act as tiny powerhouses, housing pigments that capture light energy essential for photosynthesis. This false-colored SEM image not only highlights the structural complexity and biological intricacies found in plant anatomy but also serves as a reminder of nature's remarkable adaptability and resilience. It offers us an awe-inspiring glimpse into one small aspect of our rich botanical world – reminding us to appreciate both its beauty and scientific significance.
