nfoto Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 These are illuminatingly nice, Alex, and provide great detail. I have seen the same behaviour (fused pollen tube fluoresces brightly) but your achievements are better ... It is interesting to see pollen grains appearing attached to the styles even in this early female stage flower head. I wonder if this indicates cross-pollinating has taken place? Link to comment
Alex H Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks Bjørn, I am afraid I might have accidentally cross-pollinated those while transporting flowers home. I will be more careful next time, but there is only so much one can do no public transportation. Link to comment
colinbm Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Really nice work Alex, fine detail & processing.These nearly look like electron microscope images :)Col Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 These are so beautiful. Very artistic as well. Link to comment
Johan Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Good works as usual, this type of UV is the UV I aspire to! Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Don't forget that while you do need UV illumination to produce the fluorescence shown in Alex's flowers, these are Visible wavelength photos. :) Link to comment
