False colour SEM of moss leaves; green

False-colour scanning electron micrograph of a vegetative shoot of the moss Physcomitrella patens. The leaves of mosses are very simple compared with those of higher plants, usually being one cell thick as seen here; most of the cells contain chloroplasts. They do have mid-ribs and conducting strands. This moss is easy to culture. The plants are macerated, and when placed on a suitable medium many of the fragments will regenerate into whole plants. Magnification: x20 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of moss leaves in a false-colour scanning electron micrograph. The image captures a vegetative shoot of the moss Physcomitrella patens, revealing its simple yet fascinating structure. Unlike higher plants, the leaves of mosses are incredibly thin, often consisting of just one cell layer as depicted here. However, within these delicate cells lie numerous chloroplasts responsible for photosynthesis. Although seemingly uncomplicated, moss leaves possess mid-ribs and conducting strands that aid in their growth and survival. This particular species of moss, Physcomitrella patens, is renowned for its ease in cultivation. By macerating the plants and placing them on a suitable medium, many fragments can regenerate into complete organisms. The magnification used to capture this mesmerizing image was x20 at 6x4.5cm size, allowing us to appreciate every minute detail with astonishing clarity. As we delve into the microscopic world of bryophytes like this moss specimen, we gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature's remarkable diversity. This stunning photograph not only highlights the wonders of plant life but also serves as a testament to scientific exploration and discovery. It is an invaluable addition to Science Photo Library's vast collection that continues to inspire curiosity about our natural world without any mention or intention for commercial use by any company involved in its creation or distribution.
