Coltsfoot leaf stoma, SEM C016 / 8051
Coltsfoot leaf stoma. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a stoma (oval) on the surface of a leaf from a coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) plant. Stomata are pores that are the site of gaseous exchange in the plant. The opening and closing of the stomata is controlled by semicircular guard cells (dark), which swell and become turgid to close the openings. Magnification: x1504, when printed 10 centimetres high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Coltsfoot leaf stoma, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a close-up view of an oval-shaped stoma on the surface of a Tussilago farfara plant's leaf. Stomata are essential pores that facilitate gaseous exchange within plants, allowing them to breathe and regulate their internal environment. The colored SEM emphasizes the remarkable details found in this botanical structure. Semicircular guard cells, depicted in dark hues, play a crucial role in controlling the opening and closing of stomata. When these specialized cells swell and become turgid, they seal off the openings to protect against excessive water loss or harmful external factors. At a magnification level of x1504, this print unveils nature's microscopic wonders with astounding clarity. Its vibrant colors highlight every single detail present in this angiosperm's anatomy. From its biological significance to its aesthetic appeal, this photograph encapsulates both scientific curiosity and artistic appreciation for our natural world. Stefan Diller from Science Photo Library has skillfully captured this mesmerizing glimpse into the hidden realm of plants' cellular structures. Whether you're passionate about botany or simply captivated by nature's complexity, this stunning print serves as a reminder that even at such minuscule scales, there is immense beauty waiting to be discovered.
