Carnation flower pistil, SEM C016 / 0131
Carnation (Dianthus sp.) pistil, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Pistils hold a plants female reproductive structures. They contain one or more carpels, which, in turn, contain a stigma, style and an ovary. Within the ovaries are the ovules, the female gametes (sex cells). The ovaries are fertilised by pollen grains, the male gametes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Carnation flower pistil, captured through a scanning electron microscope. Against a striking black background, the vibrant pink hues of the petals and reproductive structures come to life. The pistil is the female reproductive organ of plants, consisting of one or more carpels that house essential components for reproduction. Within each carpel lies a stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma acts as the landing pad for pollen grains while the style serves as a conduit for their journey towards fertilization within the ovary. Deep within these ovaries lie tiny ovules, which are responsible for producing female gametes or sex cells. The mesmerizing details revealed by this SEM image highlight nature's remarkable design in ensuring successful plant reproduction. Each element plays its crucial role in facilitating pollination and subsequent fertilization by male gametes carried by pollen grains. This photograph not only captures an exquisite moment frozen in time but also provides valuable insights into botany and biology. It serves as a reminder of how even at microscopic levels, life thrives with complexity and purpose. SUSUMU NISHINAGA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully immortalized this natural wonder through his lens, inviting us to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and scientific significance without mentioning any commercial use associated with it
