Imagem de Oenothera fruticosa L.

Descrição:

Magnified 101x, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed some of the morphologic ultrastructure found amongst a collection of pollen found within the dehisced, or split open, anther of a yellow "Fireworks" sundrops, Oenothera fruticosa flower. Note the pod-like configuration of the anther, within which reside many pollen grains ready for dissemination into the passing wind, or to become attached to a pollinator such as a bee.
