Cherry blossom pollen, SEM
Cherry blossom pollen. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of pollen grains from a cherry tree flower (Prunus yedoensis). The outer wall (exine) of each grain is highly sculptured to improve its adherence to pollinating insects. Each grain of pollen contains a male gamete (reproductive cell) that is intended to fertilise an egg or ovule (female gamete) and initiate the formation of a seed for a new plant

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of cherry blossom pollen. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of pollen grains from a cherry tree flower, specifically the Prunus yedoensis species. Each grain is adorned with a highly sculptured outer wall known as the exine, which serves to enhance its adherence to pollinating insects. Pollen plays a crucial role in plant reproduction, carrying within it a male gamete or reproductive cell. Its purpose is to fertilise an egg or ovule, the female gamete, thus initiating the formation of new seeds and ultimately giving birth to future generations of plants. This SEM image not only reveals the structural intricacies present in each pollen grain but also highlights their vital function in nature's grand scheme. The false-coloured details captured by the scanning electron microscope provide us with an up-close look at these tiny marvels that often go unnoticed amidst blooming cherry blossoms. With its focus on botany and flora, this photograph offers us a glimpse into one aspect of nature's remarkable diversity and complexity. It reminds us of how even seemingly insignificant elements like pollen contribute immensely to sustaining life on our planet while simultaneously showcasing the wonders that science can unveil through meticulous observation and analysis.
