Fennel seeds, SEM
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seeds, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). As well as its culinary use, Fennel is also commonly used to treat complaints such as indigestion, stomach pains, kidney stones and cystitis. A seed contains an embryo (a fertilised ovule from which a new plant can grow), and a supply of food. Seed shapes and surface textures vary widely, affecting how they are dispersed from their parent plant. Magnification: x7 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of fennel seeds, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is not only renowned for its culinary uses but also serves as a natural remedy for various ailments such as indigestion, stomach pains, kidney stones, and cystitis. Within each seed lies an embryo capable of sprouting into a new plant along with a nourishing food supply. The diverse shapes and surface textures of these seeds play a crucial role in their dispersal from the parent plant. With a magnification of x7 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this image offers us an up-close glimpse into the fascinating world of botanical structures. It highlights the importance of fennel in both traditional herbal medicine and alternative therapies. As part of the family Apiaceae, fennel exemplifies nature's ability to provide remedies that aid our digestive system while adding flavor to our meals. As we admire this false-coloured SEM image taken by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the invaluable contributions plants make to our health and well-being. Let it serve as a reminder that there is much more to discover within even the tiniest components of nature's vast tapestry.
