•  Info Conductive bunch of rhizomes of fern Pteridium pinetorum ssp. sibiricum. Author's permanent preparation, polychrome dyeing of fabrics. / Created by Anatoly Mikhaltsov - uploaded by Anatoly Mikhaltsov - nominated by JukoFF -- JukoFF (talk) 10:57, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Support though I'd like to know a bit more about what I'm looking at and its size and colour choices. Compare also File:Pteridium pinetorum ssp. sibiricum lum.jpg appears to be the same thing lit differently. -- Colin (talk) 11:11, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose for now. It needs a better description and/or some image notes, imho. From the Google-translated russian description of File:Pteridium pinetorum ssp. sibiricum lum.jpg I can guess that the large pink-ish cells in the centre are the en:xylem, but what is the rest? This is good-looking, but so far away from what it could be with a better description. A bit disappointing for an image coming in through a "Science Photo Competition". --El Grafo (talk) 13:16, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
  • That is, the quality of photos you have no complaints? JukoFF (talk) 13:25, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
    • No, no complaints in that direction. It's technically well done and looks awesome. --El Grafo (talk) 07:15, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
      • I am no expert at this but I did some poking around. Comparing this nomination image to this image, Figure 5 from here, this slide, and this image, it looks to me the cells with the pink outline are xylem, the white cells near the xylem are phloem, the black around that is the endodermis, and the bluish and brownish cells around the edge of the image are the cortex. Based on the scale bar in the third link, the width of this image is about 2 mm. In File:Pteridium pinetorum ssp. sibiricum lum.jpg, it looks like green- (GFP) and yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) were used with Fluorescence microscopy. GFP and YFP can be genetically added to specific genes of organisms in order to demonstrate where the proteins expressed by those genes are physically located. Maybe those notes can help start crowdsource the required info. Theodor Langhorne Franklin (talk) 20:43, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
