Hibiscus flower pistil, SEM C016 / 9757
Hibiscus flower pistil. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Hibiscus sp. flower pistil. Pistils hold a plants female reproductive structures. They contain one or more carpels, which, in turn, contain a stigma, style and an ovary. Within the ovaries are the ovules, the female gametes (sex cells). The ovaries are fertilised by pollen grains, the male gametes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Hibiscus flower pistil, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Against a striking black background, the vibrant colors and delicate details of this botanical wonder come to life. The pistil is the female reproductive organ of plants, responsible for housing crucial structures necessary for reproduction. Within its structure lie one or more carpels, each containing an ovary, style, and stigma. The ovaries hold the ovules - essential female gametes or sex cells. In this mesmerizing image, we witness nature's remarkable design as pollen grains - male gametes - fertilize the ovaries within the hibiscus flower pistil. The fusion of these tiny particles with the ovules initiates plant reproduction. Expertly captured by Susumu Nishinaga from Science Photo Library using advanced SEM technology, this photograph not only celebrates the elegance of flora but also provides valuable insights into botany and biology. With its vivid colors and precise detailing, this print serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic appreciation. It reminds us that even in microscopic realms lies extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered.
