Orchid tuber, light micrograph
Orchid tuber. Polarised light micrograph of a transverse section through the root tuber of an orchid (Phaius grandifolius) showing starch grains (blue-red and yellow-green) stored inside plastid cells called leucoplasts. Leucoplasts used to store starch are usually called amyloplasts. The outer wall of the amyloplast can be seen as a black outer membrane. Magnification: x46 when printed 10 centimetres wide.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of an orchid tuber at a microscopic level. The polarised light micrograph reveals a transverse section through the root tuber of a Phaius grandifolius orchid, offering us a glimpse into its cellular structure and storage mechanisms. The image highlights the presence of starch grains, depicted in mesmerizing shades of blue-red and yellow-green. These starch grains are stored within specialized plastid cells known as leucoplasts or amyloplasts. Amyloplasts serve as vital storage units for starch in plants, ensuring a steady supply of energy and nutrients when needed. By examining this photograph closely, we can observe the black outer membrane that encapsulates each amyloplast, providing protection to these essential structures. With a magnification factor of x46 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this image allows us to appreciate the intricacies hidden within nature's creations. This stunning visual representation not only serves as an artistic marvel but also provides valuable insights into plant biology and botany. It reminds us of the remarkable complexity found within even seemingly simple organisms like orchids and underscores their importance in our natural world.
