Venus flytrap leaves, SEM
Venus flytrap leaves. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of spiny leaf traps from a Venus flytrap plant (Dionaea muscipula). A winged insect is trapped in the leaf in the background. The leaf spines (also seen on the edge of the foreground leaf) interlock on the closed trap, preventing the insect from escaping. The Venus flytrap plant is carnivorous, trapping insects in its hinged and two-lobed leaf traps. Touch-sensitive hairs on the leafs inner surface are triggered when an insect lands in the trap, causing the leaf to close. The insect is digested by enzymes, providing the plant with nutrients not found in the swamps where it grows. Magnification: x12 when printed 10cm high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Venus flytrap leaves under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the spiny leaf traps of the Dionaea muscipula plant, commonly known as the Venus flytrap. In this image, we witness a winged insect helplessly trapped in one of the background leaves. The interlocking spines on both the closed trap and foreground leaf serve as an impenetrable barrier, preventing any escape for unsuspecting insects. As a carnivorous plant, the Venus flytrap relies on these hinged and two-lobed leaf traps to capture its prey. When an insect lands inside, touch-sensitive hairs trigger a rapid closure of the leaf. Once sealed shut, enzymes secreted by the plant begin breaking down and digesting its captive. This process provides vital nutrients that are otherwise scarce in their swampy habitat. With magnification at x12 when printed 10cm high, every detail is meticulously captured in this SEM photograph. Nature enthusiasts and botany lovers will appreciate this mesmerizing glimpse into one of nature's most fascinating mechanisms. It serves as a reminder of how diverse and ingenious plants can be in adapting to their environment for survival. Explore further into this world of carnivorous plants with Science Photo Library's remarkable collection capturing moments like these from our natural world.
