Premium Framed Print : Pollen of the dandelion
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Pollen of the dandelion
Dandelion pollen. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a pollen grain from the dandelion, Taraxacum officinale. The pollen grain is spined and finely-sculpted in shape, with a porous surface. Each species of flowering plant has pollen of a unique structure and shape. Pollen can be dispersed by the wind, or by insects such as bees. Spines on pollen grains, as seen here, often helps the pollen to attach to insect pollinators. The dandelion produces yellow flowers and hairy seeds, and is a common weed throughout Europe. Magnification: x1, 550 at 6x6cm size. Magnification: x3, 550 at 5x7cm inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of dandelion pollen, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope. The image reveals a single pollen grain from the dandelion plant, Taraxacum officinale, characterized by its spined and finely-sculpted shape with a porous surface. Each flowering plant species possesses unique pollen structures and shapes, enabling them to reproduce effectively. Pollen plays a crucial role in plant reproduction as it can be dispersed by wind or insects like bees. In this photograph, we observe that the spines on the pollen grains aid in attaching themselves to insect pollinators. This adaptation ensures successful transfer between plants for fertilization. The dandelion itself is known for its vibrant yellow flowers and hairy seeds. Despite being considered a common weed throughout Europe, this resilient plant has managed to captivate our attention with its remarkable reproductive mechanisms. With an impressive magnification of x1,550 at 6x6cm size or x3,550 at 5x7cm inch size, this print allows us to appreciate nature's microscopic wonders up close. It serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found within our natural world and highlights how even seemingly insignificant elements like pollen contribute significantly to life on Earth. This stunning image is brought to you by Science Photo Library—a testament to their commitment in capturing awe-inspiring moments from various scientific disciplines without commercial intent.
