Carnation flower pistil, SEM C016 / 9761
Carnation (Dianthus sp.) pistil, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). 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 Carnation flower pistil, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Against a striking black background, the vibrant pink hues of the pistil come to life. The pistil is an essential part of a plant's female reproductive structure, housing one or more carpels that contain crucial components such as the stigma, style, and ovary. Within these ovaries lie the ovules - the female gametes or sex cells responsible for fertilization. Pollen grains, representing male gametes, play a vital role in this process by fertilizing the ovaries. This mesmerizing image provides us with an up-close look at nature's remarkable mechanisms for reproduction. The detailed SEM technique employed here allows us to appreciate every minute detail of this botanical wonder. From its delicate stigma and stylus to its colorful petals and biological intricacies, this photograph offers insight into both botany and biology. Photographer Susumu Nishinaga skillfully captures not only the scientific significance but also the aesthetic allure of this carnation flower pistil. It serves as a reminder that even within microscopic worlds lies extraordinary beauty waiting to be explored and appreciated.
