Leek (cells magnified x200)

Artist

Karen Taylor

Description

There’s something really endearing about these chunky little cells.

Normally cells are difficult to see at the magnification I use. Their walls are really fine and delicate. I often have to resort to using stains when I prep microscope slides to help them show up.

Not these cells. Maybe it’s because leeks are so hardy, they’re made of stronger stuff.
