Photo Prints From Fine Art Storehouse
Hollyhock pollen grain, SEM
Hollyhock pollen grain. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a pollen grain from a hibiscus (Alcea setosa) flower. Pollen grains are the male sex cells of a flowering plant. Their characteristic surface is used by botanists to recognise and classify plants. Pollen in plants is used for transferring male genetic material from the anther of a single flower to the stigma of another in cross-pollination. In a case of self-pollination, this process takes place from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same flower Magnification: x600 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a hollyhock pollen grain, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the delicate structure of this male sex cell from a hibiscus flower. Botanists rely on these characteristic surface features to identify and classify different plant species. Pollen grains play a crucial role in plant reproduction, serving as vehicles for transferring male genetic material during cross-pollination. In this process, pollen is transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another, facilitating fertilization and ensuring genetic diversity within plant populations. However, self-pollination can also occur when pollen travels from the anther to the stigma within the same flower. At 600 times magnification when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image reveals remarkable details that are otherwise invisible to our naked eyes. The false-colored exine—the outer wall—of the pollen grain adds depth and visual appeal to this scientific artwork. Steve Gschmeissner's expertise in capturing microscopic wonders shines through in this mesmerizing photograph. It serves as a reminder of nature's intricacy and inspires us to appreciate even its tiniest creations with awe and wonderment.
