Photographic Print : Squash root, light micrograph
Photo Prints From Science Photo Library
Squash root, light micrograph
Squash root. Light micrograph of a transverse section through a squash (Cucubita sp.) root. The large vessels (red) are xylem cells, which transport water. Parenchyma tissue is blue. At the outer ends of the xylem tissue are groups of phloem cells that transport carbohydrates around the plant. The outer layer is cork cambium (brown). Magnification: x45 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a squash root, as seen through a light micrograph. The transverse section reveals a fascinating world within the plant's anatomy. The vibrant red vessels, known as xylem cells, take center stage in this image. These remarkable structures play a crucial role in transporting water throughout the plant, ensuring its survival and growth. The blue hue represents parenchyma tissue surrounding the xylem cells. This supportive tissue provides structural integrity to the root and aids in nutrient storage and distribution. At the outer edges of the xylem tissue, we observe clusters of phloem cells depicted by their distinctive coloration. These specialized cells are responsible for transporting carbohydrates essential for energy production throughout various parts of the plant. The brown outer layer is known as cork cambium, which acts as protective armor shielding delicate inner tissues from external harm. With a magnification of 45 times when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate nature's intricate design on an intimate level. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary objects like squash roots possess extraordinary complexity when observed under close scrutiny.
