Coloured SEM of trichomes in orange peel
Orange peel. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of zest" cells in the peel of an orange, Citrus sp.. In this section the zest cells have been cut across and appear as the round, concave orange structures. These structures are specialised epidermal cells known as trichomes. They are glandular, secreting the oil which gives orange peel its tangy flavour. Magnification: x28 at 5x7cm size. x74 at 8x6", x40 at 10x7cm master size"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an orange peel at a microscopic level. The image, captured using a Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM), reveals the vibrant trichomes present in the zest cells of the orange peel. These specialized epidermal cells appear as round, concave structures with their distinct orange hue. Trichomes play a crucial role in giving orange peels their tangy flavor. As glandular cells, they secrete the oil responsible for this characteristic taste. This close-up view allows us to appreciate the complexity and importance of these tiny structures within the overall anatomy of an orange. The magnification levels mentioned - x28 at 5x7cm size, x74 at 8x6", and x40 at 10x7cm master size - emphasize how much detail can be observed when examining nature's wonders under high-powered microscopes. It is through such scientific exploration that we gain deeper insights into plant biology and reproduction. This photograph not only highlights the structural intricacies found within an everyday fruit but also serves as a reminder of nature's remarkable diversity and beauty. By capturing moments like this, Science Photo Library continues to inspire curiosity about our natural world while providing valuable resources for scientific research and education purposes.
