Image of Virginia strawberry

Description:

Under a relatively-high magnification of 943x, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted a detailed view of a single seed protuberance of the clustered exterior of a commonly growing wild strawberry, Fragaria virginiana, that was found growing in Lullwater Park, inside the Decatur, Georgia suburbs. The F. virginiana fruiting bodies are very similar to the more familiar, store-bought varieties, and those who've tasted these fruits say that they're quite delicious.
