Photo Prints From Science Photo Library
Eucalyptus leaf, light micrograph
Eucalyptus leaf. Light micrograph of a cross-section through the midrib of a eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) leaf. This xerophytic (arid-adapted) leaf has a thick layer of cuticle made of wax with sunken stomata (green, lower edge) in order to reduce water loss. There are also large secretory (oil) cavities in the mesophyll (one seen as a large hole at upper right). Within the midrib is a vascular bundle (left) composed of xylem (red) and phloem (pale pink) vessels, which transport water and carbohydrates around the plant respectively. Magnification: x100 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Eucalyptus leaf, captured through a light micrograph. The cross-section view reveals the remarkable adaptations of this xerophytic (arid-adapted) leaf to reduce water loss. A thick layer of cuticle, composed of wax, covers the surface and features sunken stomata along its lower edge, allowing for controlled gas exchange while minimizing moisture evaporation. The mesophyll, seen in detail within the image, contains large secretory cavities that appear as prominent holes at the upper right corner. These cavities serve as storage spaces for essential oils produced by the plant. Within the midrib lies a vascular bundle consisting of xylem vessels colored in red and phloem vessels appearing pale pink. These specialized tissues play crucial roles in transporting water and carbohydrates throughout the plant's structure. Printed at 10 centimeters wide with a magnification factor of x100, this photograph offers an immersive experience into the microscopic world of botanical anatomy. Against a clean white background, it highlights not only scientific knowledge but also artistic appreciation for nature's complexity and elegance. With its focus on cellular structures and anatomical details, this print serves as an educational tool for botany enthusiasts or anyone fascinated by biology's wonders. It captures both technical precision and aesthetic allure while shedding light on various aspects such as plant adaptation strategies and tissue functionality within Eucalyptus globulus leaves.
