Fruit

In this pioneering collaboration, visual artist Rob Kesseler and seed morphologist Wolfgang Stuppy use scanning electron microscopy to obtain astonishing images of a variety of fruits and the seeds they protect. Razor-sharp cross-sections reveal intricate interiors, berries and pods, nuts and other examples of botanical architecture and reproductive ingenuity. The black and white microscope images have been coloured by Rob Kesseler highlighting the structure and functioning of the miniscule fruit and seeds some almost naked to the invisible eye and in so doing creating a work of art. Larger fruits, their flowers and some of their animal dispersers have been especially photographed for this book--Global Books in Print.
