Flower Fertilisation??

Flower Fertilisation??
I recently bought a small A4 sized light box and thought I'd have a play. This was an idea prompted by one of those drawings you see in biology books of the male's sperm swimming for the female's egg. Not sure if it works or not, but I quite like it for a first attempt. Apologies to my wife for deconstructing a couple of her last surviving flowers :-)

Looks better viewed large, on black. Thank you.

Thanks Andy.

In this case a light box is just an A4 sized sheet of acrylic embedded with LEDs. When plugged in it gives a bright white light. You can put stuff on top of it (as I did here) or use it to light small objects to photograph them.

My one is only a couple of mm thick, so is not strictly a box, but it works just as well. You could probably build your own with some LEDs or a fluorescent lamp!

See - clear as mud!
