Magnolia stem, SEM C015 / 5128
Magnolia stem. Coloured environmental scanning electron micrograph (ESEM) of a transverse section through the stem of a Magnolia sp. plant. At centre is the pith, which consists of soft, spongy parenchyma cells. Outside of this is the secondary xylem, which transports water and nutrients around the plant. The next ring consists of secondary phloem, which transports carbohydrates and hormones around the plant. Outside of this are the cortex, periderm and bark (brown)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Magnolia stem, as seen through an environmental scanning electron microscope. The image reveals a transverse section of the stem, providing a glimpse into its fascinating internal structure. At the center of the stem lies the pith, composed of soft and spongy parenchyma cells. Surrounding this vital core is the secondary xylem, responsible for transporting water and essential nutrients throughout the plant. Moving outward from there is the secondary phloem, which plays a crucial role in distributing carbohydrates and hormones to various parts of the plant. The outer layers consist of cortex, periderm, and bark that give protection and support to this magnificent botanical wonder. The rich brown hues add depth to this visually stunning composition. Photographed by Thierry Berrod under Mona Lisa Production's expertise, this colored SEM micrograph offers us an extraordinary insight into magnolia biology at a microscopic level. It serves as a testament to both nature's complexity and our ability to explore it using advanced scientific techniques like scanning electron microscopy. Whether you are captivated by botany or simply appreciate natural wonders up close, this mesmerizing print invites you on an awe-inspiring journey through one small but remarkable aspect of our flora kingdom.
