Dicotyledon vascular bundle, SEM C016 / 9603
Dicotyledon vascular bundle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a vascular bundle from a dicotyledonous plant. A vascular bundle is a part of the transport system in vascular plants. The transport itself happens in vascular tissue, which exists in two forms: xylem (containing tracheids, larger vessels) and phloem (containing sieve tubes, smaller vessels). Magnification: x800, when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnified view of a dicotyledon vascular bundle, revealing the intricate beauty of plant anatomy. Coloured scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has allowed us to explore the inner workings of this transport system in vascular plants. The image highlights two vital components: xylem and phloem. Xylem, represented by tracheids and larger vessels, serves as nature's plumbing system, responsible for transporting water and nutrients from roots to other parts of the plant. On the other hand, phloem consists of sieve tubes and smaller vessels that facilitate the movement of sugars and organic molecules throughout the plant. The vibrant colors used in this SEM capture emphasize the complexity and interconnectedness within these botanical structures. This microscopic exploration not only offers a glimpse into the world beneath our feet but also provides valuable insights into how plants thrive in their environments. Steve Gschmeissner's expertise with scanning electron microscopy has brought this hidden realm to life through his meticulous work capturing every detail at 800 times magnification. Whether you are a botany enthusiast or simply appreciate nature's wonders, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its stunning portrayal of cellular biology in action.
