This is a Scanning Electron Micrograph of a germinating Arum or Voodo Lily (Sauromatum guttatum). This image shows the size of the pollen after it was magnified 435 times. This image is one of the many elegant images from the Dennis Kunkel Microscopy collection.
The elegance, breathtaking beauty, and less-intrusive false coloring aspects helped make this our image of the month.
