EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of compound starch grains found in the parenchyma cells of Phajus glandifolius, as captured under polarised light. The image, taken with a light microscope, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the world of biology and cellular anatomy. The multiple anatomical structures within these starch grains are truly remarkable. Each grain is composed of numerous plastids that play a crucial role in storing energy for this angiosperm plant species. Under polarised light, these compounds emit vibrant colors and patterns that highlight their unique composition. The detailed examination of parenchyma cells reveals the complexity and sophistication inherent in nature's design. These specialized cells serve various functions within plants, including storage and support. In this particular case, they house the compound starch grains which provide essential nourishment to Phajus glandifolius. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this biological marvel through their lens, offering us an opportunity to appreciate the intricacies hidden within even the tiniest components of life. This print serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic expression.
