Cannabis pollen



Junction of pistils and immature seed


pistil close up



pistilate flower



Branch crotch



How about a few non electron microscope shots while I'm at it.

split seed showing embryo and cotyledons



trichome



pistilate flower



cross section of leaf showing stomata on underside



leaf petiole cross sec.



trichome



Fertilized flower



pistil up close



mature unfertilized pistil



leaf cross sec.



you know.....

Nice pics! Did any of those come from the scanning electron microscope paper on cananbis?

Thanks guys! Glad to share them... Not sure where the S.E.M. imaged are from. I would imagine it was the same one. Not many people have access to those powerful scopes...

I've posted and re-posted them a time or 2, but I was so excited about the new forum.... I know they are valuable images we can use to study the plant's anatomy and further our understanding of this sacred plant...

FWIW,

1. Here is a great source of info for microscopy, not strictly about scanning electron microscopy (SEM), but it's a great resource of microscopy info. I thought it might be a good addition. Thanks to MicrobeMan for the link:
Just for fun, here is Dennis Kunkel's website of his microscopy pics, amazing for sure!



2. And here are some older papers about, and with images from SEM (scanning electron microscope) and cananbis:
