Caption:
Under a magnification of 101X, this scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image revealed some of the ultrastructural features found amongst a collection of pollen found within the dehisced, or ruptured, anther of a yellow 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.
