There is so much to admire in pollen grains, in their shapes, their textures, and their patterns under the microscope, that we sometimes feel more like spectators than artists! This is why we typically name our pollen images after the plant that makes them, as nature truly deserves the credit. These pollens came from the house plant Amaryllis, but as the botanists insist this is not really Amaryllis, we decided to use Elegance in Stasis instead. Just as Shakespeare’s rose “by any other name would smell as sweet,” so will this image cast its charm.
The field of view across this image is about 190 micrometers, or about 0.19mm, so a 16” x 24” print is magnified about 3200 times.
In coloring this, we elected to accentuate the texture on the pollen surface, using a gradient from yellow to green.
