Virginia creeper stem, light micrograph
Virginia creeper stem. Polarised light micrograph of a cross-section through a stem from a Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus tricuspidatus). The primary epidermis has sloughed off and been replaced by an outer cork layer (white-brown). The next layer is the cortex (red and blue), which surrounds the vascular cylinder. The outer vascular layer is a broken ring of phloem (red, topped with yellow fibres). The next ring is xylem tissue (yellow). The pith (centre) is composed of large parenchyma cells (blue). Magnification: x14 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of a Virginia creeper stem in exquisite detail. Under polarised light, a cross-section of the stem reveals its fascinating structure and composition. The primary epidermis has shed away, making way for an outer cork layer that exudes a warm white-brown hue. The vibrant cortex surrounds the vascular cylinder, showcasing shades of red and blue that create a visually striking contrast. Within this circular arrangement lies the broken ring of phloem, depicted in vivid red tones and adorned with delicate yellow fibres. Just beyond it is the xylem tissue, radiating a brilliant yellow coloration. At the center of this botanical marvel resides the pith - a collection of large parenchyma cells painted in captivating shades of blue. When printed at 10 centimeters across, this micrograph offers an astonishing magnification level of x14. This image not only showcases nature's incredible complexity but also highlights key aspects of plant biology such as water transport through vascular bundles composed of phloem and nutrient transport facilitated by xylem tissue. It serves as a testament to both the scientific wonders found within our natural world and the power of microscopic exploration. Captured by Science Photo Library, this print invites us to appreciate the hidden intricacies present even within seemingly ordinary flora like Virginia creeper stems.
