Starch grains, SEM
Starch grains. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of starch grains (orange) in a black-eyed pea (Vigna sp.). Starch is synthesised from sucrose, a sugar produced by the plant during photosynthesis, and used as a source of energy. It is stored as grains in structures called amyloplasts. Magnification: x500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of starch grains found in a black-eyed pea. The colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the vibrant orange starch grains, which are essential for energy storage within plants. These grains are synthesized from sucrose, a sugar produced during photosynthesis, and serve as a vital source of energy. The image highlights the microscopic structures known as amyloplasts, where these starch grains are stored. With a magnification of x500 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM provides an up-close view that unveils the complexity and organization within plant cells. Through this mesmerizing photograph, we gain insight into the fascinating world of botany and biology. It reminds us of nature's remarkable ability to create intricate systems for survival and growth. The false-colored image emphasizes both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in time with their cutting-edge technology. This print serves as a testament to their commitment to showcasing the wonders of our natural world through stunning visual representations.
