Gorse stigma with pollen grains, SEM
Gorse (Ulex europaeus) stigma (green) with pollen grains (yellow), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Pollen grains are reproductive structures produced by the male parts of flowering plants. The stigma is the female part of a flowering plant. Pollen grains that settle here can end up fertilising the flower, producing the seed for a new plant. Magnification: x250 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of nature's reproductive process. In this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a close-up view of a gorse stigma, adorned in vibrant green hues, interacting with pollen grains that shimmer in yellow. Pollen grains, as seen here, serve as the male reproductive structures produced by flowering plants. The stigma, on the other hand, represents the female part of these botanical wonders. When pollen grains settle upon the stigma's surface, they have the potential to fertilize and initiate seed production for new plant growth. The image is magnified at x250 when printed at 10 centimeters across, allowing us to appreciate every minute detail present within this microscopic world. Against a serene blue background, this SEM artfully captures the essence of biological processes occurring within angiosperms – flowering plants that rely on sexual reproduction. With its false-colored presentation and utilization of advanced technology like scanning electron microscopy (SEM), this photograph not only highlights the scientific significance but also serves as an artistic portrayal of nature's delicate dance between gametes or sex cells. It offers viewers a glimpse into one aspect of botany - specifically focusing on gorse (Ulex europaeus) - while simultaneously evoking wonder and appreciation for our natural world.
