Pine needle stoma, SEM C015 / 5168
Pine needle stoma. Coloured environmental scanning electron micrograph (ESEM) of a stoma (red) on the surface of a pine needle (Pinus sp.). Stomata are pores that are the site of gaseous exchange in the plant. The opening and closing of the stomata is controlled by semicircular guard cells, which swell and become turgid to close the openings

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pine needle stoma" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of plant biology. Captured using an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), this coloured micrograph showcases a single stoma, or pore, on the surface of a pine needle. Stomata play a crucial role in the life of plants as they serve as sites for gaseous exchange. In this image, the vibrant red stoma stands out against the backdrop of the pine needle's textured surface. The opening and closing of these stomata are controlled by semicircular guard cells that surround them. The beauty lies not only in their visual appeal but also in their functionality. As gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through these tiny openings, plants can regulate vital processes such as photosynthesis and respiration. Photographer Thierry Berrod from Mona Lisa Production has masterfully captured this microscopic wonder with precision and artistry. Through his lens, we are transported to a hidden realm where nature's secrets unfold before our eyes. This stunning botanical print serves as a reminder of both the complexity and elegance found within even the smallest components of our natural world. It invites us to marvel at its intricacy while deepening our appreciation for the wonders that lie beneath our feet.
