Bamboo stem, light micrograph
Bamboo stem. Polarised light micrograph of a section through a bamboo stem (Bambusa vulgaris). Vascular bundles can be seen (yellow/green) containing xylem (larger openings, white) and phloem (smaller openings) tissues. Xylem transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant, while phloem transports carbohydrates and plant hormones around the plant. The yellow fibres are woody supportive tissue. Magnification: x14 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a bamboo stem, as captured through a polarised light micrograph. The image reveals a section of the stem from Bambusa vulgaris, with its vascular bundles prominently displayed in yellow and green hues. These bundles contain xylem and phloem tissues, which play vital roles in transporting essential substances throughout the plant. The larger white openings represent the xylem, responsible for carrying water and mineral nutrients from the roots to all parts of the bamboo. On the other hand, smaller openings symbolize phloem tissue that transports carbohydrates and plant hormones across different areas of this remarkable flora. Adding to its allure are woody supportive tissues depicted by vibrant yellow fibers. These fibrous structures provide strength and stability to the bamboo stem's overall structure. With a magnification level of x14 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate nature's intricacies on an intimate scale. It offers insight into plant anatomy while showcasing fascinating biological elements such as circular sections and axial arrangements. Presented against a striking green background, this visually stunning image is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves as a valuable resource for those interested in botany or studying plants' inner workings.
