Xylem plant cells, SEM
Xylem plant cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of xylem cells from a bog myrtle (Myrica gale). The xylem transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant. The walls of the xylem vessels are strengthened with lignin, a woody substance that helps to support the plant

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of xylem plant cells. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a glimpse into the fascinating world of botany and cellular structure. The image features xylem cells extracted from a bog myrtle, scientifically known as Myrica gale. Xylem plays a crucial role in supporting plants by transporting water and essential mineral nutrients from their roots to every part of their being. These vital vessels possess fortified walls strengthened with lignin, a woody substance that provides structural support to the entire plant. The vibrant hues captured in this SEM highlight the spiral arrangement characteristic of these xylem cells. It is through this intricate network that nature's hydraulic system operates, ensuring plants receive the nourishment they need for growth and survival. As we delve into this microscopic realm, we gain an appreciation for the complexity and resilience found within even the tiniest components of our natural world. This image serves as a reminder of how interconnected all living organisms are, relying on one another for sustenance and harmony. Science Photo Library continues to amaze us with its ability to capture such awe-inspiring moments in scientific exploration, allowing us to marvel at nature's wonders up close.
