Chloroplast, TEM C017 / 8233
Chloroplast. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of chloroplast from the leaf of a Coleus blumei plant. Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis, the process that synthesises carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight. The pigment responsible for photosynthesis, chlorophyll, is found on stacks of parallel thylakoids (membranes, brown lines) called grana. A starch grain (round, pale) is seen towards the left of the chloroplast. Magnification: x15, 300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a chloroplast, the powerhouse of photosynthesis in plants. Taken using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), this colored image reveals the inner workings of a chloroplast from a Coleus blumei leaf. Chloroplasts play a vital role in converting carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates with the help of sunlight. The green pigment responsible for capturing light energy, chlorophyll, can be observed as stacks of parallel thylakoids known as grana, represented by brown lines in this image. The left side of the chloroplast exhibits a round and pale starch grain, highlighting its function as an energy storage unit within these organelles. With magnification at x15,300 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every detail is brought to life. This photograph not only delves into the microscopic world but also emphasizes nature's incredible complexity and adaptability. It serves as a testament to the wonders found within plant biology and offers insights into how plants harness sunlight to sustain life on Earth. Dr. Jeremy Burgess captured this awe-inspiring image for Science Photo Library—an invaluable resource for scientific exploration and education—showcasing his expertise in botanical research through his mastery behind the lens.
