Botanical Life Under the Microscope (Science is Beautiful)

The plant world has always been appreciated for its visual appeal, but its true beauty can be revealed when viewed through the electron microscope. This collection unearths fascinating microscopic images of flowers, trees, fruits and grasses, and we can enjoy the wonder of pollen, seeds, petals, roots and leaves.

This stunning collection of images can be enjoyed purely as a visual voyage but also as a way to understand more of the science behind the image. Whether it's the work of a lavender leaf oil gland, the minuscule pollen carried on the leg of a honeybee, a cross-section of a pine needle, or the cells from the trunk of the magnificent Californian redwood, each image reveals the wonderful workings of nature.

Discover just how beautiful nature can be when seen in microscopic detail, and learn all about the natural world surrounding us.
