EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of flowering fern spores. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), three spores of the Osmunda regalis, commonly known as the royal or flowering fern, take center stage. These small spores play a crucial role in reproduction as they are dispersed by the wind. The image reveals a trio of delicate spores, each adorned with unique patterns and textures. The false colours used in this SEM add an artistic touch to highlight their remarkable features. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope, we gain an up-close perspective on these tiny reproductive structures. The royal fern is not only visually stunning but also widely distributed across various regions worldwide. Its presence can be found in diverse natural habitats, making it a fascinating subject for botany enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of plant life that often go unnoticed by our naked eye. This print serves as a reminder of nature's extraordinary diversity and its ability to create awe-inspiring wonders even at microscopic levels.
