Jigsaw Puzzle : Moss reproductive parts, light micrograph
Jigsaw Puzzles From Science Photo Library
Moss reproductive parts, light micrograph
Moss reproductive parts, light micrograph. Longitudinal section through the antheridial cup (male reproductive parts) of a cord moss (Polytrichum commure). Inside the outer ring of leaves are the oval-shaped antheridia (dark pink). It is these structures that produce the antherozoids. Between the antheridia are multi-cellular hairs (paraphyses), which fill in the gaps and retain water for the antherozoids to swim in, to reach and fertilise a female moss plant and its eggs. Magnification: x45 when printed at 10 centimetres high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and fascinating world of moss reproductive parts. In this light micrograph, we are presented with a longitudinal section through the antheridial cup, which represents the male reproductive parts of a cord moss known as Polytrichum commure. The outer ring of leaves encloses oval-shaped structures called antheridia, depicted in a striking dark pink hue. These antheridia play a crucial role in producing antherozoids, tiny swimming entities responsible for fertilizing female moss plants and their eggs. To facilitate this process, multi-cellular hairs known as paraphyses fill in the gaps between the antheridia while retaining water for the antherozoids to swim in. With a magnification of x45 when printed at 10 centimeters high, this image provides us with a glimpse into the internal structure and anatomical details of these bryophytes. The white background accentuates every minute cellular detail captured by the light microscope used to create this stunning light micrograph. As we delve into plant biology and botany through this photograph from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into how nature's smallest organisms contribute to reproduction and ensure their survival. This visual representation serves as both educational material for those interested in plant anatomy and appreciation for the beauty found within even microscopic aspects of our natural world.
