Jigsaw Puzzle : Umbrella grass stem, light micrograph
Jigsaw Puzzles From Science Photo Library
Umbrella grass stem, light micrograph
Umbrella grass stem. Polarised light micrograph of a section through a umbrella grass stem (Cyperus alternifolius). Vascular bundles (brown) can be seen containing xylem (larger openings) and phloem (smaller openings) tissues. Xylem transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant, while phloem transports carbohydrates and plant hormones around the plant. Magnification: x14 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an umbrella grass stem, as seen under a polarized light microscope. The image reveals a section through the stem of Cyperus alternifolius, a species known for its unique umbrella-like appearance. Against a clean white background, the vascular bundles stand out in rich brown hues. These bundles play a crucial role in transporting essential substances throughout the plant. The larger openings within the vascular bundles represent xylem tissue, responsible for carrying water and vital nutrients from the roots to all parts of the plant. On the other hand, smaller openings indicate phloem tissue, which transports carbohydrates and plant hormones necessary for growth and development. With a magnification of x14 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate nature's complexity on a microscopic level. The false-colored image highlights various anatomical features such as fibrous structures and axial arrangements within the stem. Taken by Science Photo Library using advanced scanning electron microscopy techniques combined with polarized light microscopy, this print offers both scientific insight into plant anatomy and aesthetic appeal. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly ordinary plants possess extraordinary intricacies worth exploring.
