Scanning electron micrograph of Arabidopsis (Thale Cress) trichomes
Daniel Mullendore is a student of plant biology at Washington State University. While flowering plants are undoubtedly macroscopically pretty, Daniel likes to look beyond the foliage and the flowers to the beauty that most people never, ever see.

Fortunately, he shares this wonder and beauty with us through his micrographs of plant tissue, dyed to accentuate different features.

Check out his Etsy shop. Each micrograph has preparation and sample details (plant type, cell type, main feature and the stain)–food for the brain as well as the soul.
