Description
Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the seed of a Foxglove (Digitalis sp.). The entire plant is highly toxic, including the roots and seeds. Digitalis extract containing cardiac glycosides is used to control heart rate. Visible here is the sieve-like construction surrounding the seed's core, a feature that helps wind spread the seed. Magnification 500x at 15x12cm image size.
